            <p> Genus  Notoatherix Oberprieler &amp; Yeates gen. nov.</p>
            <p>(Figs 1 &amp; 2)</p>
            <p> Type species.  Notoatherix antiqua Oberprieler &amp; Yeates ,  sp. nov.</p>
            <p>Diagnosis. Only a single wing blade is preserved, with the anterior base obscured. R1 and R2+3 relatively straight, R2+3 meeting R1 at costa. R4+5 proximally straight, then weakly curved upwards posteriorly, meeting costa of wing just before apex. Crossvein r-m almost in middle of cell d, but tending slightly towards its basal end. Vein M1 sinuous at base, remainder almost straight, meeting wing margin just behind wing apex. M2 relatively straight, meeting wing margin. Crossvein m-m closing cell d at level of origin of M1.</p>
            <p>Species included. Type species only.</p>
            <p> Remarks. Venational features characteristic of the  Athericidae were defined by Stuckenberg (1973). The diagnostic feature of the family, the close terminal convergence of veins R1 and R2+3, occurs in Notoatherix. In addition, crossvein r-m meets the discal cell further from its basal end, another feature to distinguish rhagionids and athericids used by Stuckenberg (1973). Two other features of many athericids, veins R4 and R5 diverging at a far smaller angle than in rhagionids and tabanids, and R4 ending before the tip of the wing (Stuckenberg 1973), do not occur in Notoatherix because R4 and R5 are fused throughout their length. Mostovski et al. (2003) reported that the conformation of R4 and R5 is more variable in the fossil record of the three families than in extant forms. Notoatherix dates to an age when these three families are believed to have diverged (Wiegmann et al. 2011) and could possess a venation different from that of the current  Athericidae crown group. </p>

            <p> Notoatherix antiqua Oberprieler &amp; Yeates ,  sp. nov.</p>
            <p>(Figs 1 &amp; 2)</p>
            <p>Type material. Holotype: Talbragar Fish Bed (Late Jurassic: Kimmeridgian (151 ± 4 Ma), Gulgong, New South Wales, Australia, collector Jack Hinde. Part and counterpart impressions of wing; incomplete preservation with portion of anterior base obscured.</p>
            <p>Etymology. The species is named for its great age, being the oldest known adult representative of its family.</p>
            <p>Occurrence. Only known from the Talbragar Fish Bed.</p>
            <p>Description. Wing relatively large and broad, 12 mm long, 4.8 mm at widest point. R1 and R2+3 relatively straight, R2+3 meeting R1 at costa. R4+5 proximally straight, distally weakly curved anteriad, meeting costa before apex. R-m crossvein almost at middle of cell d but tending slightly towards its basal end. Vein M1 sinuous at base, remainder almost straight, meeting wing margin just behind apex. M2 gently evenly curved, meeting wing margin. M-m crossvein closing cell d at level of origin of M1. M3 and CuA1 gently evenly curved, ending before wing margin. Cell br longer than bm, base of M3 and CuA1 arising close together at apex of cell bm. CuA2 slightly curved posteriorly, CuP visible as a concave vein just behind CuA2. A1 well developed, with similar curvature to CuA2, ending before wing margin. Stigma faint, with indistinct margins, more prominent behind R1 but extending in front of this vein.</p>
