Namurotypus is an extinct genus of griffinfly with a single described species Namurotypus sippeli. It is the only member of the family Namurotypidae. It inhabited the large swamps of the Carboniferous period. Namurotypus had a 15 cm long forewing and did not have secondary male sex organs as in modern dragonflies.
