Archescytinidae is an extinct family of fungus-feeding thrips belonging to the order Thysanoptera that was first defined by Robert John Tillyard in 1926. ^{[3] [2]} They are the oldest known thrips family and they existed between the Asselian epoch of the Early Permian and the Toarcian epoch of the Early Jurassic. ^[1]
