The genus contains a single described species Aneuretellus deformis and is known from one Middle Eocene fossil which was found in Sakhalin in the Russian Far East.

However research published in 1999 on the Naibuchi Formation, in which Sakhalin amber is directly preserved, gives a Middle Eocene age based on geological and paleobotanical context.

[2] The Sakhalin amber forest had a variety of plants living in a mixed coastal swamp, river, and lake environment.

The bogs were surrounded by Osmunda, Nymphaeaceae and Ericaceae plants, while Taxodium, Alnus, Salix, and other trees populated the forest.

[3] The amber fossil was first studied by paleoentomologist Gennady Dlussky of the Russian Academy of Sciences, with his 1988 type description for the species published in Paleontologicheskii Zhurnal.

[1] The subfamily includes three additional extinct genera, Mianeuretus, Paraneuretus, and Protaneuretus,[4] and a single living genus and species Aneuretus simoni, found in Sri Lanka.
