Permothrips is an extinct genus of thrip from the Archescytinidae family[1] that is notable for being the oldest record of thrips to date. The type species (P. longipennis) was described on the basis of PIN 2506/4, a single exoskeleton found in Sedy, Russia.[2] It was probably a fungus feeding ancestor of the Mesozoic thrips.[3]
