Permotipula is an extinct monotypic genus of protodipteran insect which contains a single species Permotipula patricia. The only specimen of Permotipula was found in Late Permian strata of the Newcastle Coal Measures between the towns of Belmont and Warners Bay on the eastern side of Lake Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia and named by Robert J. Tillyard in 1929. The specimen consisting of a single well preserved wing, was considered lost after the death of Tillyard in 1937. The loss of the specimen and the mention by Tillyard of a second insect fossil from the same site, later described as resulted in much confusion regarding the taxonomic affiliations of P. patricia. Robinjohnia, a four winged insect which is now placed in the order Mecoptera. The P. patricia type specimen was found

| - Permotipula es un género extinto de insectos protodípteros de la familia Permotipulidae. Se trata de un ala de insecto identificado como relacionado con la familia actual Tipulidae. El fósil fue encontrado en Australia en rocas del período Pérmico. El primer hallazgo data de 1929, aunque dicho hallazgo fue redescubierto en 1989. Ha sido considerado como una forma intermedia, precursora de los dípteros. Se postuló que aún tenía cuatro alas y no dos como los dípteros actuales. Un estudio más detallado de la venación del ala demostró que algunas de las características de los dípteros no están presentes y que este fósil no puede ser el antepasado de los dípteros. (es)

Robinjohnia, a four winged insect which is now placed in the order Mecoptera. The P. patricia type specimen was found in the Tillyard collection which is housed at the British Museum and reexamined by R. Willmann in a 1989 paper. A second species, P. borealis was named by O.M. Martynova in 1961 from a small wing specimen found in the Kuznetsk Basin, Russia. This species was moved, however, in 1989 by R. Willmann to the monotypic genus Permila and is now considered a probable early mecopteran. (en)
