“…Notice that Sinitshenkovae gallica has some similarities with the Brodiopteridae Carpenter, 1963(genus Brodioptera Copeland, 1957, but it differs from Brodioptera in the presence of veinlets between ScP and C, between RA and C+ScP, and a forked MP (Copeland 1957;Carpenter 1963b;Nelson &Tidwell 1987;Pecharová et al 2015).…”

A new genus, Sinitshenkovae gen. nov., is described, comprising the Carboniferous species Sinitshenkovae hueneckeni (Pinto & Pinto de Ornellas, 1978) comb. nov. from South America and new Guadalupian species S. gallica sp. nov. from France. These two species are attributed to the Paleozoic South American family Xenopteraidae, a previously monospecific family only containing Xenoptera riojaensis Pinto, 1986. Sinitshenkovae gallica sp. nov. is therefore the youngest representative of this family and the only record outside South America, which suggests that our current knowledge of the palaeobiogeography of Permian and Carboniferous insects remains incomplete.

“…Instead we suggest that by the early Late Carboniferous many insect lineages of comparatively moderate importance (i.e., considered of familial level or below) had already undergone dispersion at a large scale. Not only the palaeodictyopteran families Spilapteridae and Calvertiellidae show a wide distribution, but also particular genera of the Megasecoptera (Pecharová et al 2015), stem-Orthoptera, such as Miamia spp., recovered from at least three Late Carboniferous localities (Béthoux 2008;Béthoux & Jarzembowski 2010;Béthoux et al 2012), and the Cnemidolestodea (Béthoux 2005;Aristov 2012;Gu et al 2014, among others). The Odonatoptera are no exception, with genera shared among many localities worldwide (Li et al 2013a), some ranging from the early Late Carboniferous to the Permian.…”

We report the discovery of a new Calvertiellidae from the Xiaheyan locality (Namurian, early Late Carboniferous; Tupo Formation; China), namely Xiaheyanella orta gen. et sp. n. Besides representing both the most ancient and the most oriental occurrences for the family, the new species exhibits a derived wing venation pattern, especially if compared to the putative palaeodictyopteran cousins of the family. This discovery shows that, by the early Late Carboniferous, many insect lineages of moderate importance (i.e., considered at the familial level or below) already had a widespread distribution, and that derived conditions already accumulated. This concurs with the view that insects had already experienced a long evolutionary history by that time, remaining to be documented.

“…This exceptional material allowed solid inferences on wing venation intra-specific variability in various insect lineages (e.g. Béthoux et al, 2011Béthoux et al, , 2012bCui et al, 2011;Gu et al, 2011;Li et al, 2013;Pecharová et al, 2015). Moreover, both males and females were identified for two species (Du et al, 2017;Pecharová et al, 2015), one of them, a relative of grasshoppers, crickets and katydids (Orthoptera), displaying a significant femalebiased sexual size dimorphism.…”

Abstract. The Xiaheyan locality is providing abundant material on one of the earliest insect faunas. The most common species are comparatively remote relatives of Orthoptera (grasshoppers, crickets and katydids), belonging to the Archaeorthoptera nec Panorthoptera (the latter including crown Orthoptera). We establish the genus Sinogerarus gen. nov. to accommodate a new, rare species, S. pectinatus spec. nov., which can be conclusively assigned to Panorthoptera. It therefore represents the second occurrence of the group at this locality. The new species displays a distinctive combination of character states, adding to the knowledge of a number of Upper Carboniferous Panorthoptera whose relationships are poorly understood.
