Popis: The extinct hemipteran superfamily Prosboloidea Handlirsch, 1906 comprises two ancient families (viz., Prosbolidae Handlirsch, 1906 and Maguviopseidae Shcherbakov, 2011) reported from the Permian (Artinskian) to the Jurassic (Callovian) (Szwedo, 2018). The Triassic family Maguviopseidae was established by Shcherbakov (2011) with relatively high generic diversity, including eleven genera within two subfamilies: Sacvoyageinae Shcherbakov, 2011; and Maguviopseinae Shcherbakov, 2011 comprising two tribes, occurring from the Middle to Upper Triassic Madygen Formation of Madygen, Kyrgyzstan. The known maguviopseids show diversified tegminal shapes with sculptured ornamentations on surface, and some genera with highly convex costal margin are considered as an adaptative to mimicry among their hostplants (probably seeds or buds) in order to avoid predators (Shcherbakov, 2011).
