A new tribe, Palaeomallerini Legalov, trib. nov. (type genus Palaeomallerus gen. nov.), new genera, Extinctocentrinus Legalov, gen. nov. (type species E. brevirostris sp. nov.), Lithogeraeus Legalov, gen. nov. (type species L. greenriverensis sp. nov.), and Palaeomallerus Legalov, gen. nov. (type species P. longirostris sp. nov.), and new species, Extinctocentrinus brevirostris Legalov, sp. nov., Geraeus anvilis Legalov, sp. nov., G. fossilis Legalov, sp. nov., Nicentrus curvirostris Legalov, sp. nov., Lithogeraeus greenriverensis Legalov, sp. nov., and Palaeomallerus longirostris Legalov, sp. nov. from the Early–Middle Eocene of the Green River are described.
