“…Additional data from forewings of the CNU specimen shows the RA with branches translocated to RP, as in cockroaches, suggesting this species could be stem Blattodea (Guo et al, 2013). However, there has not been a cladistic analysis of wing venation characters for both fossil and extant Blattodea and/or Dictyoptera, thus we agree with the more conservative view (Kjer et al, 2015;Legendre et al, 2015;Prokop et al, 2014) that roachoids likely represent a diverse and speciose fauna on the stem group of Dictyoptera. See also section 82.4.…”

“…In the absence of detailed cladistic analysis of fossil roachoid wings together with extant Dictyoptera and other outgroups, we take the conservative view (Guan et al, 2016;Kjer et al, 2015;Prokop et al, 2014) that roachoids (including the family Anthracoptilidae/Strephocladidae, containing H. grandis) likely represent a diverse and speciose fauna on the stem group of Dictyoptera, perhaps with some members on the stem group of Neoptera or Polyneoptera (Grimaldi and Engel, 2005). At least some such roachoids may be used to calibrate crown group Polyneoptera (as done herein by assigning Q. namurensis), but they cannot calibrate crown Dictyoptera.…”

Fossil age data and molecular sequences are increasingly combined to establish a timescale for the Tree of Life. Arthropods, as the most species-rich and morphologically disparate animal phylum, have received substantial attention, particularly with regard to questions such as the timing of habitat shifts (e.g., terrestrialisation), genome evolution (e.g., gene family duplication and functional evolution), origins of novel characters and behaviours (e.g., wings and flight, venom, silk), biogeography, rate of diversification (e.g., Cambrian explosion, insect coevolution with angiosperms, evolution of crab body plans), and the evolution of arthropod microbiomes. We present herein a series of rigorously vetted calibration fossils for arthropod evolutionary history, taking into account recently published guidelines for best practice in fossil calibration. These are restricted to Palaeozoic and Mesozoic fossils, no deeper than ordinal taxonomic level, nonetheless resulting in 79 fossil calibrations for 101 clades. This work is especially timely owing to the rapid growth of molecular sequence data and the fact that many included fossils have been described within the last five years. This contribution provides a resource for systematists and other biologists interested in deep-time questions in arthropod evolution.

“…Indeed, as the best‐preserved structures of fossil insects, wing veins are critical to better understand the deep‐past evolution of insects – as recently shown for some orders (e.g. Nel et al ., ; Prokop et al ., , ; Jacquelin et al ., ). Yet, despite two centuries of efforts, the homologies of wing veins remain an open question.…”

To better understand insect evolution, fossils – mainly known by their wings – must be used as terminals in phylogenetic analyses. Such analyses are, however, rarely performed because of a lack of consensus on the homology of venation in insects. Researchers do not agree with the current concept on the exact number and identity of the main veins. Here, we confirm the presence, which has been in question since the early 20th century, of an independent main postcubital vein (PCu vein) between the cubital and anal veins (29 fossil and extant examined orders; > 85% of observed insects). The PCu vein corresponds to the so‐called vein 1A or first anal vein. It is easily identified by the unique shape of its bulla. It may have several branches and be partially fused with the cubital and anal veins. Once the PCu vein was identified, we reconsidered as an example the particular case of the Phasmatodea, showing that extant stick insects have a unique venation among insects, with a reduced median vein and a simple cubital vein adjacent or fused to the PCu vein. This study is a new approach towards resolving wing vein homology issues, crucial for future large‐scale phylogenetic analyses in insects combining extant and extinct taxa.

Fossil wing of Hemiptera Sternorrhyncha with peculiar venation is described from the lower Toarcian (Lower Jurassic) of Bascharage (Grand-duchy of Luxembourg). It represents new family Xulsigiidae fam. nov., comprising a new genus and species Xulsigia karetsa gen. et sp. nov. It is placed preliminarily in extinct infraorder Pincombeomorpha for the presence of three branches of median vein. Key to families of Pincombeomorpha is given and the taxonomic position and venation features of the new fossil are discussed.
