Jurodidae is a family of beetle that was originally described from a fossil species Jurodes ignoramus Ponomarenko, 1985. In 1996, a species Sikhotealinia zhiltzovae representing the only living representative of this family was discovered in the Sikhote-Alin mountains in Siberia. Sikhotealinia and Jurodes are considered as a sister group to all other archostematan beetles.[1]
