Abstract
The description of a new fossil taxon presupposes the global knowledge of the examined group and of the existence of possible sibling, mimicking or simply superficially similar taxa. The older the fossils are, the greater the possibility of misidentification. Moreover, the knowledge of the assumed phylogeny and of the evolution centres of the extant taxa allows understanding the real taxonomy of new fossil entities, giving consistency and support to the descriptions.
