New palaeodictyopterid insects from the Pennsylvanian of Piesberg reveal spectacular disparity in the patterns of the wing venation (Megasecoptera, Palaeodictyoptera)

Katerina Rosova et al.

Summary: A rich abundance of Palaeodictyopterida fossils, including adults, larval stages, and exuviae, were discovered at the Piesberg quarry in Germany. Several new species were described, and the restoration of a genus was proposed based on wing venation evaluation.

Order Tarachoptera in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber (Insecta, Amphiesmenoptera)

Wilfried Wichard et al.

Summary: The extinct order Tarachoptera is limited to Burmese amber inclusions, belonging to the Amphiesmenoptera and consisting of ten described species in three genera within the family Tarachocelidae. Morphological features of adults are described with a diagnosis of four autapomorphic characters, along with photos of several species and line drawings of typical characters such as wing venation, head, and mouthparts. The described species of Tarachoptera are summarized in a checklist.

New archaeorthopteran insects from the Pennsylvanian of Piesberg reveal unexpected mosaic of morphological traits and colouration pattern of the tegmina

Tomas Dvorak et al.

Summary: New genera and species of Archaeorthoptera, Paraspiculum brauckmannii, and Piesbergopterum punctatum were described from fossils found in Piesberg quarry near Osnabruck, Germany. These fossils provide unique wing venation patterns and offer insights into the early history of polyneopteran insects.

Evidence for wing development in the Late Palaeozoic Palaeodictyoptera revisited

Katerina Rosova et al.

Summary: The study challenges the original idea of articulated and movable wings in Palaeozoic insect larvae, suggesting that the supposed wings are actually wing pads with developing wings inside. Additionally, the research confirms the presence of nygma-like structures on the wings and wing pads of Palaeodictyopteran Tchirkovaeidae.

New species of Kamopanorpa Martynov from the Permian of South Siberia with comments on the systematic position of Microptysmatidae (Protomeropina = Permotrichoptera)

Alexey S. Bashkuev et al.

Summary: The systematic position of Microptysmatidae and Protomeropidae was critically reviewed following the reassessment by Minet et al.; important characteristics for distinguishing different groups include the double anal loop and arrangement of anal veins; three new Kamopanorpa species were discovered in Permian deposits in South Siberia.

The first Permian scorpionfly from Germany (Insecta, Panorpida: Protomeropidae)

Markus J. Poschmann et al.

Summary: The study describes a new genus and species of scorpionfly found in Germany, confirming the diversity of Protomeropidae in Central Europe during the Early Permian. The family may have become extinct due to major climatic changes after the Artinskian, with some insect groups being more severely affected.
