Clathrotitan, also called as Clatrotitan is an extinct genus of Titanoptera insect, known from the Triassic of Australia. It is originally described from a species, C. andersoni, then later study considered that Mesotitan scullyi as species of Clathrotitan too, synonymizing C. andersoni to C. scullyi. But another study synonymized Mesotitan and Clathrotitan. A study in 2021 proposed to keep the two genera Clathrotitan and Mesotitan separated, keeping Mesotitan only include type species M. giganteus and keeping two species Clathrotitan. 2024 study supported to synonymize C. scullyi and C. andersoni. C. andersoni had a large forewing, which was long.
