Euxenoperla
No picture of Euxenoperla was found. Wikipedia, Wikidata, iDigBio and Smithsonian Open Access were searched and had none. GBIF was asked, and what came back is not recorded: nothing, or a picture this site could not tie to Euxenoperla, or no answer at all. This entry cannot say which.

Time the record covers
At least 14 million years on record.
The record covers at least 251.902 Mya to 237 Mya. No occurrence read is dated outside 254.14 Mya to 227.3 Mya.
8 occurrences of Euxenoperla on record. Bar height is expected occurrences, not a count: each fossil is spread across the span it is dated to, so a tall narrow bar means tight dating and a low wide one means loose.
When
8 occurrences- Permian88%
- Late Triassic13%
These are dates about fossils, not the animal: the record can only begin after it arose and end before it died out, so either end may reach further. Shares are expected occurrences: a fossil dated to a span is counted partly in each period it straddles. More on what this infers.

The named rock units Euxenoperla has been recovered from, largest first. Drawn where the rock is now, not where it formed. 4 occurrences have no formation on record, which is common for older literature.

The Paleobiology Database records 5 sites for Euxenoperla, and this reads all of them. The number is how many of those sites it was catalogued from too. The 24 sharing the most are listed.
This is not a list of everything alive at the time. It is only what has come out of the same ground as this animal and been written down.
Entered from
3 references- New Upper Permian insects from Natal, South Africa5
- Fossil insects from the Upper Permian of Natal, South Africa2
- A new collection of insects from the Upper Triassic of South Africa1
Each of the 8 occurrences read was entered from one of these publications, ordered by how many each accounts for. This is not a search for papers mentioning the name. Each entry links to the Paleobiology Database's own record for the work.
