Abstract
⺠An insect, or less likely a myriapod, created a distinctive boring into a stem of Psaronius housuoensis during the Late Permian in Yunnan, southwestern China. ⺠This discovery extends a distinctive community of Psaronius-related detritivores from the mid Late Carboniferous equatorial wetlands of Euramerica to the more midlatitude, Late Permian habitats of southern Cathaysia. ⺠This distinctive component community of Psaronius and its trophically interacting organisms constitutes the longest ranging, terrestrial associations in the Paleozoic fossil record.
