Taldycupedidae is an extinct family of beetles primarily known from the Permian period. Taxonomy Kirejtshuk (2020) included the following genera in Taldycupedidae, preliminarily treating it as a subfamily Taldycupedinae of the family Permocupedidae.
Afrotaldycupes – Beaufort Group, South Africa, Late Permian (Changhsingian) Afrotaldycupes africanus (Type species) Afrotaldycupes lidgettoniensis Mesothoris – Blackstone Formation, Australia Late Triassic (Norian) Mesothoris clathrata (Type species) Mesothoris grandis Mesothoris punctomarginum Proterocupes (syn Lobanovia ) Proterocupes major – Vokhma Formation, Vologda, Russia, Late Permian (Changhsingian) Proterocupes nedubrovensis – Vokhma Formation, Vologda, Russia, Late Permian (Changhsingian) Proterocupes permiana (Type species) – Poldarsa Formation, Vologda, Russia, Late Permian (Wuchiapingian) Simmondsia – Blackstone Formation, Australia Late Triassic (Norian) Simmondsia cylindrica Simmondsia subpiriformis (Type species) Taldycupes (syn Cryptocupes , Taldycupidium ) Taldycupes bergi – Gramoteinskaya Formation, Kemerovo Oblast, Russia, Late Permian Taldycupes cellulosus – Poldarsa Formation, Vologda, Russia, Late Permian (Wuchiapingian) Taldycupes khalfini (Type species) – Gramoteinskaya Formation, Kemerovo Oblast, Russia, Late Permian Taldycupes moltshanovi – Gramoteinskaya Formation, Kemerovo Oblast, Russia, Late Permian Taldycupes pingi – Yinping Formation, Anhui, China, Middle Permian (Capitanian) Taldycupes reticulatus – Akkolka Formation, Kazakhstan, Late Permian (Changhsingian) Taldycupes rosanovi – Limptekon Formation, Krasnoyarsk, Russia, Late Permian (Changhsingian) Taldycupes vasjuchitshevi – Gramoteinskaya Formation, Kemerovo Oblast, Russia, Late Permian Tecticupes (syn Stegocupes ) Tecticupes heckeri (Type species) – Kazankovo-Markinskaya Formation, Kemerovo, Russia, Middle Permian (Wordian) Mitina Formation, Kemerovo, Russia, Middle Permian (Roadian) Tecticupes indistinctus – Kazankovo-Markinskaya Formation, Kemerovo, Russia, Middle Permian (Wordian) Tecticupes martynovi – Amanak Formation. Orenburg, Middle Permian (Capitanian) Tychticupes – Gramoteinskaya Formation, Kemerovo Oblast, Russia, Late Permian Tychticupes beljanini Tychticupes radtshenkoi (Type species) Tychticupes ragozini "Tychticupes" ussovi (nomen dubium) Tychticupoides – Gramoteinskaya Formation, Kemerovo Oblast, Russia, Late Permian Tychticupoides grjazevi (Type species) Uskaticupes (nomen dubium) – Gramoteinskaya Formation, Kemerovo Oblast, Russia, Late Permian Uskaticupes javorskyi (nomen dubium)
The genera Alveolacupes , Clathropenna and Penecupes were previously placed in the family by some authors, but were all excluded from it by Kirejtshuk (2020). The genera Wuchangia and Yuxianocoleus , both from the Lower Jurassic of Hubei, China, were also excluded from the family by Zhao et al. (2021) (as the subfamily Taldycupedinae).
