Lepidotrix

Lepidotrix is an extinct genus of wingless insect belonging to Zygentoma (silverfish and allies) in the family Lepidotrichidae.

Its relationship with the extant genus Tricholepidion, which has historically been placed in the same family, is disputed, with some studies finding the two taxa to not be closely related, with Tricholepidion being placed in its own family instead.

[4] While often spelled Lepidothrix in historic literature, this is homonymous with a genus of birds, and Lepidotrix was the spelling used in the original publication.
