''Ordralfabetix'' is an extinct genus of planthopper in the family Lophopidae and containing the single species ''Ordralfabetix sirophatanis''. The species is known only from the Early Eocene, Ypresian stage Oise amber from the Quesnoy locality, Oise Department, France. ==History and classification== ''Ordralfabetix sirophatanis'' is known only from one fossil, the holotype, number "PA. 2378". It is a single partial adult preserved as an impression on the surface of a clear orange amber specimen.〔 The fossil was recovered from an outcrop of Oise amber which was discovered in 1997 at Quesnoy, near the Oise River in Northern France.〔 The type specimen is currently preserved in the entomology department of the French Muséum national d'histoire naturelle. ''Ordralfabetix'' was first studied by Jacek Szwedo of the Muséum with his 2011 type description for the genus and species being published in the journal ''Zootaxa''. The generic name was coined by Szwedo in reference to the The Adventures of Asterix character Ordralfabetix, the village fishmonger. The etymology of the specific epithet ''sirophatanis'' is a combination of two proto-Celtic word cores, "''siro''" which translates to "long" and "''phatano''" meaning "wing". This is a reference to the length of the fore wing.〔 When ''Ordralfabetix sirophatanis'' was described, it was one of three hundred identified arthropod species that have been found in the Oise ambers. Of the three hundred arthropod species, seven planthopper families are represented: Achilidae, Dictyopharidae, Lophopidae, Ricaniidae, Nogodinidae, and Tropiduchidae plus another family which has not been formally described. ''O. sirophatanis'' was the second Lophopidae species to be described from the fossil record of Europe. The first species ''Baninus thuringiorum'' was described by Szwedo and Wappler in 2006 from specimens found in the Messel fossil site.〔
