This list of 2024 in paleoentomology records new fossil insect taxa that are to be described during the year, as well as documents significant paleoentomology discoveries and events which occurred during that year.
Clade Amphiesmenoptera
= Lepidopterans

Frese, McCurry & Wells (2024) describe pupae and uncased larvae of caddisflies from the Miocene McGraths Flat Lagerstätte (Australia), including specimens with large compound eyes preserving details of the rhabdoms and corneal nanocoating and with other external and internal structures, and interpret the environment of the studied caddisflies as affected by cyclic catastrophic events.
Clade Antliophora

=Brachycerans
Nematocerans
Dipteran research
Putative Cretaceous mosquito Libanoculex intermedius is argued to be a member of the family Chaoboridae by Harbach (2024).
Ševčík (2024) compares the holotype of Burmacrocera petiolata with macrocerine keroplatid specimens from the Cretaceous amber from Myanmar, and notes the difficulty of attempts to associate similar macrocerine forms with the holotype of B. petiolata.
The first fossil representative of the subgenus Ristocordyla within the genus Brachypeza reported to date is described from the Eocene Baltic amber by Boudet et al. (2024).

Fossil material of aquatic dipterans, including representatives of the family Chaoboridae which are absent from extant fauna of New Zealand, is described from the Miocene Foulden Maar Lagerstätte by Baranov, Haug & Kaulfuss (2024).
= Mecopterans
=Mecopteran research
Kaczmarek, Li & Soszyńska (2024) describe the first female specimen of Burmothauma eureka, preserved in a piece of the Cretaceous amber from Myanmar that also includes a mite belonging to the family Bdellidae, rove beetles belonging to the subfamilies Scydmaeninae and Staphylininae and flies belonging to the families Cecidomyiidae and Keroplatidae, and interpret both the morphological similarity of the studied specimen to extant Notiothauma reedi and the ecology of arthropods preserved in the same piece of amber as indicating that Cretaceous eomeropids were likely associated with forest litter environments.
Clade Archaeorthoptera
= †Caloneurodea
== Orthopterans
=Orthopteran research
Cadena-Castañeda et al. (2024) interpret the family Pseudogryllotalpidae as a junior synonym of the subtribe within the family Gryllidae and the tribe Sclerogryllini, and interpret Pseudogryllotalpa scalprata, Petilus zhengi and Unidigitus longialatus as synonyms of Pherodactylus micromorphus.
Ferreira et al. (2024) reconstruct the left forewing venation of Picogryllus carentonensis, reporting the presence of the venation pattern compatible with the pattern proposed by Josse et al. (2023) for crickets.
Ferreira et al. (2024) reconstruct the anatomy of the internal parts of the genitalia of a male specimen of Picogryllus carentonensis, and evaluate the tempo and mode of evolution of the family Oecanthidae, arguing that the family dates back to the Upper Jurassic.
While describing structures interpreted as a grasshopper ootheca (egg pod) and eggs from the John Day Formation, Oregon, United States, Lee et al. advocate the use of the ootaxonomic nomenclatural system for description of insect egg fossils. They erect the new ichnofamily Entomoothecichnidae to accommodate the described oothecae fossils, and the new oofamily Entomoolithidae for "fossil eggs of entomological affinities".

Tello, Libido & Moctezuma (2024) describe new fossil material of Onthophagus pilauco from the Pleistocene strata from the Pilauco Bajo site (Chile), providing new information on the morphology of this beetle, and interpret the studied fossils as indicative of the presence of sexual dimorphism in O. pilauco.

== Apocrita
=Apoidea
Chrysidoidea
= Chrysidoidea research =
Paulsen, Olmi & Stilwell (2024) report the discovery of a probable member of the genus Ampulicomorpha from the Eocene Anglesea amber (Australia), extending known distribution of fossil members of the family Embolemidae into southern high latitudes.

A study on the diversity dynamics of ants throughout their evolutionary history is published by Jouault et al.

Taniguchi et al. (2024) study the microstructure and distribution of sensilla from the antennae of Gerontoformica gracilis, and find that G. gracilis already had sensilla used by extant ants for detecting alarm pheromones and for distinguishing nestmates from intruders, and was capable of social chemical communication through pheromones used by modern ants.

Haug et al.

General research
Evidence of the presence of distinct damage patterns on seeds from the Permian (Asselian) Shanxi Formation (China), interpreted as produced by insects with well-developed ovipositors (possibly members of Palaeodictyopteroidea), is presented by Santos, Wappler & (2024).

(2024).
A study on mine damage on gymnosperm specimens from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation (China), probably produced by members of basal lineages of polyphagan beetles, monotrysian moths and tenthredinoid sawflies, is published by Xiao et al. (2024), who argue that the evolution of the mining associations of insects with gymnospermous plants during the Jurassic was likely caused by the appearance of new, more foliose plant lineages that provided more accessible food resources for mining insects.
A study on the ecology of the Aptian insect fauna from the Nova Olinda Member of the Crato Formation (Brazil) is published by Bezerra & Mendes (2024), who interpret the studied insect fauna as living in an environment similar to modern long-standing wetlands, dominated by dominanted by fully terrestrial taxa, and relatively richer in palaeopterans than insect faunas from the Yixian and Zaza formations.
Storari et al. (2024) compare the preservation of mayfly and orthopteran fossils from the Crato Formation and mayfly fossils from the Upper Jurassic Solnhofen limestones (Germany), interpreting the differences of the preservation of the studied fossils as indicative of the presence of microbial mats during the fossilization of insects from the Crato Formation.

Loewen et al. (2024) describe a diverse amber deposit from the Maastrichtian strata from the Big Muddy Badlands (Canada), preserving fossils of representatives of seven arthropod orders and at least 11 insect families, and interpret the studied assemblage as providing evidence of a faunal turnover among insects prior to the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.
Eight insect specimens (members of Apocrita and Brachycera, members of the families Libellulidae, Pentatomidae and Bibionidae, and three indeterminate insects), representing the first insect fossils from Serbia reported to date, are described from the Miocene Valjevo-Mionica Basin by Lazarević & Milivojević (2024).
An assemblage of subfossil remains of insects, dominated by diverse beetles, is described from the Late Pleistocene strata from the Lebed site (Altai Republic, Russia) by Gurina et al.
