These are all the fossil insect taxa that I have described, in collaboration with numerous colleagues, over the years. They are listed by geological age, locality, order, family, genus (if I was involved with the description), and species. Notes are given when there have been later taxonomic changes, with reference to the paper the changes took place in.
