Zdenekia is a genus of extinct winged insects from the Upper Carboniferous period. It contains the species Z. grandis from the Czech Republic,^[1] Z. occidentalis from Belgium,^[1] and Z. silesiensis from Poland.^[2] Zdenekia is considered a member of the extinct order Paoliida, a group that historically had controversial affinities and composition but have been resolved as the sister group of Dictyoptera by recent studies.^[3]^[4]
