Dipteran research[edit]
- Putative Cretaceous mosquito Libanoculex intermedius is argued to be a member of the family Chaoboridae by Harbach (2024).[25]

- Amaral et al. (2024) describe new larval specimens of Qiyia jurassica from the Jurassic Daohugou Beds (China) and new fossil material of brachyceran larvae the Cretaceous amber from Myanmar, including larvae with morphology combining characters seen in members of the families Xylophagidae and Athericidae, and interpret the studied fossils as indicating that members of the group Stratiomyomorpha were abundant in the Cretaceous fauna and likely occupied the ecological functions which are occupied by extant members of more derived brachyceran groups.[27]
- Fossil material of aquatic dipterans, including representatives of the family Chaoboridae which are absent from extant fauna of New Zealand, is described from the Miocene Foulden Maar Lagerstätte by Baranov, Haug & Kaulfuss (2024).[28]

Orthopteran research[edit]
- Ferreira et al. (2024) reconstruct the left forewing venation of Picogryllus carentonensis, reporting the presence of the venation pattern compatible with the pattern proposed by Josse et al. (2023)[36] for crickets.[37]
- Ferreira et al. (2024) reconstruct the anatomy of the internal parts of the genitalia of a male specimen of Picogryllus carentonensis, and evaluate the tempo and mode of evolution of the family Oecanthidae, arguing that the family dates back to the Upper Jurassic.[38]
- While describing structures interpreted as a grasshopper ootheca (egg pod) and eggs from the John Day Formation, Oregon, United States, Lee et al. advocate the use of the ootaxonomic nomenclatural system for description of insect egg fossils. They erect the new ichnofamily Entomoothecichnidae to accommodate the described oothecae fossils, and the new oofamily Entomoolithidae for "fossil eggs of entomological affinities".[31]

Dictyopteran research[edit]
- Naugolnykh (2024) reports evidence indicating that wings of the blattoid insect Sogdoblatta from the Triassic Madygen Formation (Kyrgyzstan) had the same venation pattern as plants with the pinnate foliages from the same formation, especially members of the genus Cladophlebis, and interprets this finding as likely evidence of mimicry.[99]
- Mizumoto et al. (2024) describe a Baltic amber inclusion from the Yantarny mine (Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia) preserving a female–male pair of the termite species Electrotermes affinis, interpreted as a likely tandem running pair.[100]

Formicoidea research[edit]
- A study on the diversity dynamics of ants throughout their evolutionary history is published by Jouault et al. (2024), who interpret their findings as indicating that extinction of stem ants was more likely caused by their specialized morphology rather than by competition with crown ants, as well as indicating that the radiation of the flowering plants acted as a buffer against extinction and a driver of diversification in ants.[123]
- Taniguchi et al. (2024) study the microstructure and distribution of sensilla from the antennae of Gerontoformica gracilis, and find that G. gracilis already had sensilla used by extant ants for detecting alarm pheromones and for distinguishing nestmates from intruders, and was capable of social chemical communication through pheromones used by modern ants.[124]

Other insect research[edit]
- Taxonomic revision of the miomopteran family Permosialidae is published Aristov & Rasnitsyn (2024).[200]
- Cui et al. (2024) describe new fossil material of Aristovia daniili from the Cretaceous amber from Myanmar, and identify Aristovia as a member of the stem group of Grylloblattodea.[201]
General research[edit]
- A study on the taxonomy and taphonomy of insects fossils from Alderton Hill (Gloucestershire, United Kingdom), providing evidence of the presence of a diverse insect fauna (including representatives of 12 orders, 21 families, 24 genera and 21 species) during the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event, is published by Swaby et al. (2024).[202]
- A study on mine damage on gymnosperm specimens from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation (China), probably produced by members of basal lineages of polyphagan beetles, monotrysian moths and tenthredinoid sawflies, is published by Xiao et al. (2024), who argue that the evolution of the mining associations of insects with gymnospermous plants during the Jurassic was likely caused by the appearance of new, more foliose plant lineages that provided more accessible food resources for mining insects.[203]
- A study on the ecology of the Aptian insect fauna from the Nova Olinda Member of the Crato Formation (Brazil) is published by Bezerra & Mendes (2024), who interpret the studied insect fauna as living in an environment similar to modern long-standing wetlands, dominated by dominanted by fully terrestrial taxa, and relatively richer in palaeopterans than insect faunas from the Yixian and Zaza formations.[204]
- Evidence indicating that the radiation of the flowering plants mitigated insect extinction (especially during the Cretaceous period) and drove the origination of insects (especially during the Cenozoic) is presented by Peris & Condamine (2024).[205]
- Loewen et al. (2024) describe a diverse amber deposit from the Maastrichtian strata from the Big Muddy Badlands (Canada), preserving fossils of representatives of seven arthropod orders and at least 11 insect families, and interpret the studied assemblage as providing evidence of a faunal turnover among insects prior to the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.[206]
- An assemblage of subfossil remains of insects, dominated by diverse beetles, is described from the Late Pleistocene strata from the Lebed site (Altai Republic, Russia) by Gurina et al. (2024), who interpret the studied insects as indicative of humid climate which was significantly colder than modern climate in the studied area.[207]
