The superorder Odonatoptera Martynov, 1932 comprises a great number of clades (e.g., Meganisoptera, Protanisoptera, Triadophlebiomorpha, etc.) that could be considered as orders at the same rank extant Odonata (dragonflies, damsel-dragonflies and damselflies) (Nel & Piney, 2023). is very ancient, with representatives dating from Serpukhovian (late Early Carboniferous) (Petrulevičius Gutiérrez, 2016). But how old are Panodonata Bechly, 1996, clade containing synapomorphy ‘distal discoidal...
We describe the earliest known representatives of subfamily Hesperininae, and species extant genus Penthetria, from mid-Cretaceous amber Myanmar. Penthetria is represented by tenue sp. nov. tipuloides also seven new in recently described Protopenthetria Li et al, 2021, which we provisionally place Hesperininae. In nominate subgenus (s.str.) rectangula P. longicornis are probably related to skartveiti al., 2021. The Megacephaletria subgen.n. described, including five species,...
Permotermopsis gallica sp. nov., first described representative of its genus outside the Russian Federation, is from Kungurian Lodève Formation (Southern France). It appears that margin Permian supercontinent Pangea, along Tethys Ocean, had a relatively humid climate compared to outback continent, allowing presence rich and diverse entomofauna. The limits many fossil families currently in order 'Grylloblattodea' are quite uncertain inadequately defined. A complete re-evaluation phylogeny...
A new genus and species of the archaeorthopteran order Caloneurodea are described illustrated from Salagou Formation (France) as Lodevogramma pumilia gen. et sp. nov. The particular wing venation this precludes its placement within one already families Caloneurodea. Consequently, family Lodevogrammatidae fam. is created to accommodate specimen. detailed comparison with other provided. This differs all because it has: petiolate wings; area between C R/RA very narrow; vein RA ends near apex;...
The lacustrine Konservat-Lagerstätte of Menat (Puy-de-Dôme, France) is a unique window in the terrestrial Paleocene environments Western Europe (Wedmann et al., 2018). It has yielded an exceptional diversity plants (leaves, flowers, seeds, pollen), and animals (vertebrates arthropods, especially insects) (e.g., Piton, 1940). Nevertheless, flies are quite rare this outcrop which paleo-entomofauna dominated by beetles (69% collection 3938 specimens). To date, paleo-maar given only one specimen...
Luberotenthredo cerestensis gen. et sp. nov. is the first record of sawfly family Tenthredinidae from Oligocene Céreste (Southern France). This taxon described and illustrated based on a well-preserved specimen. genus resembles extant Perineura (subfamily Tenthredininae, tribe Perineurini) with which it shares forewing venation similarities numerous morphological characters. new fossil representative Perineurini can be used as calibration point for future investigation diversification Tenthredinidae.
Hervetia paleocenica gen. et sp. nov., the second oldest representative of wasp family Cimbicidae, is described from Palaeocene Menat (Puy-de-Dôme, France). It shows main putative synapomorphy Palaeogene subfamily Cenocimbicinae, but its anal veins and cells are unique among whole family. The description this new taxon confirms high diversity Cimbicidae during Early Eocene.
The fly family Bibionidae is extremely frequently found in the lacustrine insect assemblages between late Eocene and latest Miocene of France. For instance, represent 25% fossil insects collected at Cereste (total 7,466 specimens, Oligocene, Lubéron, France) (Nel, 1991). It not case Paleocene Konservat-Lagerstätte Menat (Puy-de-Dôme, France). In this outcrop, we could find only four specimens a collection ca. 6,768 insects. Two these were previously described by Nel (2007) & Kundura...
The lacustrine Lagerstätte of Menat (Puy-de-Dôme, France) provides a unique window into the terrestrial Paleocene environments Western Europe (Wedmann et al., 2018). It has shown an exceptional diversity plants (leaves, flowers, seeds, pollen), and animals (vertebrates arthropods, especially insects) (e.g., Piton, 1940). Wappler al. (2009) made first analysis animals-plants interactions. Recent extensive researches were made, allowing to collect important set leaves with numerous diverse...
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...
Lodevoisadia coheni gen. et sp. nov. is described as the ninth species of ‘Grylloblattodea’ from middle Permian Salagou Formation, near Lodève town (France). It currently not reasonable to place this into a specific family, even though it seems share most characters with small family Tunguskapteridae. The lack phylogenetic analysis and current poor delineation majority grylloblattodean families (lacking synapomorphies) render any attribution new taxa particular often uncertain.
