Siphluriscidae is a family of mayflies. It contains a single extant species, Siphluriscus chinensis, which is native to Vietnam and China.[1][2] It is thought to be the most primitive living lineage of mayflies.[3] A fossil genus, Stackelbergisca is known from several species from the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous of Asia.[1] A second species of Siphluriscus, S. davidi was later assigned to the genus Siphlonurus.[1]
