Abstract
The position of the enigmatic Oligocene pamphiliid genus and species Tapholyda caplani (Cockerell, 1933) is revised based on new specimens from the late Oligocene of the Creede Formation (Colorado, USA). The study of the wing venation and body characters indicate affinities with the fossil subfamily Juralydinae. The species is transferred to the latter accordingly. We revise the diagnoses of the Juralydinae and Tapholyda caplani. We designate a lectotype for the species and provide an interpretative drawing of its forewing venation. The placement of Tapholyda caplani in the Juralydinae extends the temporal range of the subfamily to the Oligocene.
