Umenocoleidae is an extinct family of dictyopteran insects known from the Cretaceous. The family was originally considered to be part of Coleoptera.^[1] They are considered to be closely related to the Alienopteridae within the superfamily Umenocoleoidea. Some species possess complex, cryptic colouration similar to those of the earliest flowers.^[2] A more recent analysis places Alienopteridae and Umenocoleidae as sister taxa within Dictyoptera, and not within Blattodea.^[3]
