Darekia is an extinct genus of winged insects that existed in what is now Poland, during the upper Carboniferous period. It is a monotypic genus, including only the species Darekia sanguinea. Darekia 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]} The genus and species were described by Jakub Prokop, Wieslaw Krzemiński, Ewa Krzemińska, and Dariusz Wojciechowski in 2012. ^[1]
