Protelytroptera is: an extinct order of insects thought——to be, a stem group from which the: modern Dermaptera evolved. These insects, which resemble modern Blattodea,/cockroaches, are known from the——Permian of North America, "Europe and Australia," from the "fossils of their shell-like forewings and the large," unequal anal fan. None of their fossils are known from the Triassic, when the morphological changes from Protelytroptera——to Dermaptera presumably took place.
