Abstract Two different patterns of wing venation are currently supposed to be present in each the three orders Paraneoptera. This is unlikely compared with situation other insects where only one pattern exists per order. We propose for all Paraneoptera a new and unique interpretation pattern, assuming that convex cubitus anterior gets fused common stem median radial veins at or very near base, after separation from concave posterior, re‐emerges more distally R + M stem. Thereafter, vein...
The Late Palaeozoic insect order Caloneurodea Handlirsch, 1907 is a rather small clade in the superorder Archaeorthoptera Béthoux & Nel, 2002 (Béthoux et al., 2003), several representatives have been recently described from Portugal, France, China, and Russia (see Dvořák 2021 references herein). body structures of these insects are poorly known majority genera species based on isolated wings. Also Permian latest Carboniferous. With two recorded Moscovian Pas-de-Calais Basin, this area...
Abstract Recent Thysanoptera are characterized by two pairs of slender wings fringed long hairs and with reduced venation. Fossils presenting more complete venation have been used in earlier studies to link 'Zoropsocinae', which form 'Lophioneurinae' the 'Lophioneuridae', an extinct family superorder Thripida. On basis one new Carboniferous fossil described herein, Westphalothripides oudardi sp. nov. (Westphalothripidesidae fam. nov.), as well Cretaceous fossils, we revise current...

A new palaeodictyopterid, Aviobreyeria gracilis gen.n., sp.n., is described from an outcrop of Upper Carboniferous (Westphalian C/D) deposits at Avion in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais department (France). This taxon placed family Breyeriidae based on a comparison pattern venation its forewing with that other breyeriids and possibly related genera within Breyerioidea.

Abstract Acoustic communication is well-known in insects since the Mesozoic, but earlier evidence of this behavior rare. Titanoptera, an ‘orthopteroid’ Permian-Triassic order, one few candidates for Paleozoic intersex calling interactions: some specimens had highly specialized broadened zones on forewings, which are currently considered—despite inconclusive evidence—as ‘resonators’ a stridulatory apparatus. Here we argue that apparatus hypothesis unlikely because Titanoptera lack file their...
New polyneopteran insects are described from Pennsylvanian (Bashkirian, Moscovian) compressed fossils the North of France (Insecta: Archaeorthoptera). Discovery wing apex with distinct venation, e.g., apical fusion RA RP, numerous parallel posterior branches RP transversal crossveins, can be assigned to cf. Tococladus sp. (Cnemidolestodea: Tococladidae). It represents second record Cnemidolestodea Avion locality apart Aviocladus pectinatus Prokop et al., 2014. Bruaylogus magnificus gen....
The position of the Palaeozoic Anthracoptilidae has been a major problem insect systematics for over century.The previous hypotheses suggested affinities with Palaeodictyopteroida, Protorthoptera, Hypoperlida, stem-Mantodea, Paraneoptera, Holometabola, or Eoblattida.Herein we put forward new hypothesis based mainly on comprehensive re-evaluation wing venation characters and re-examination type material Anthracoptilus perrieri Mesoptilus dolloi.The are considered as belonging to paoliid...
Abstract Gallotupus oudardi, new genus and species of Meganeuridae is described from the Late Carboniferous Northern France. Potential phylogenetic implications two wing venation structures present in meganeurids are discussed on basis this fossil. The most basal antenodal brace Ax0 could be a potential synapomorphy with Odonatoclada. 'subnodus' have been structure related to larval tracheation meganeurids, exapted as part complex nodal modern Odonata, flight. Lastly shortly petiolated...

Protodictyon pulchripenne is redescribed, Cacurgidae, put archaeorthopteran stem group We restore two genera, Kochopteron Protoblattina, Paoliidae.

The Carboniferous was a period of high diversification the polyneopteran insects superorder Archaeorthoptera (so-called ‘orthopteroid’ insects) (see Fossilworks site at http://fossilworks.org/bridge.pl?a=home). Some Late outcrops are very rich (Mazon Creek in North America, Commentry France). Konservat-Lagerstätte Avion (Northern France) is especially for Moscovian outcrop, with no less than six described genera and species: Aviogramma gracilis Prokop et al., 2014, Aviocladus pectinatus...

The Palaeozoic archaeorthopteran order Cnemidolestodea Handlirsch, 1937 (sensu Béthoux, 2005; not sensu Aristov, 2014) currently comprises only the family Cnemidolestidae 1906. They are easily characterized by presence of a more or less triangular area delimited vein MA and first anterior fork MP+CuA+CuPa, this last having several parallel posterior branches. Dvořák et al. (2021) listed included genera, described new genus species Piesbergopterum punctatum from Moscovian Piesberg (Germany),...

Samples from treated untreated sites collected independently analyzed for evidence biodegradation. Required protocols water sediment quality acquisition samples chemical analysis expertly adhered to. Visual observations indicated that experienced color changes. However,...
A new archaeorthopteran genus and species, Avionugonioneura jouaulti, is described from the Moscovian of Avion in Northern France. It shows several strong similarities, with two genera Contracladus (Pennsylvanian) Nugonioneura (early Permian), viz. a simple vein M emerging anteriorly M+ CuA+CuPa an branched CuA+CuPa, which are putative synapomorphies, suggesting possible attribution to family Nugonioneuridae. This discovery confirms very important diversity Archaeorthoptera outcrop...

It shows several putative synapomorphies with three genera Contracladus Dvok al., 2021 (Pennsylvanian Germany), Nugonioneura (lower Permian USA), and Avionugonioneura Moscovian Avion (France).
The new archaeorthopteran family Archaeogeraridae, based on Archaeogerarus schubneli gen.et sp.nov., is described from the Moscovian of Avion.It has several unique wing venation characters allowing to separate it other groups this superorder, viz. a vein RP separating RA very close base and closely parallel it; M shortly fused with RP; CuA+CuPa simple straight; CuPb branched.This last character convergently present in few Palaeozoic Panorthoptera, feature great interest for future...

The superorder Archaeorthoptera (or total group of the extant Orthoptera) was exceedingly diverse during Late Carboniferous and Permian. Most species described to date are comparatively remote relatives Orthoptera (Archaeorthoptera nec. Panorthoptera). Panorthoptera a clade including more closely related crown Orthoptera, sharing with them synapomorphies in their wing venation, viz. division anterior-most branch CuPa CuP into two branches; fusion anterior CuPaα CuA M+CuA). sensu stricto then...
