“…This discovery highlights the potential of the locality of Tante Victoire, the latter being very promising for future discoveries of fossil insects. We also describe the first specimen of Blattinopsidae from the Palaeozoic of Spain, increasing the distribution of this family to this country; this study is in line with a very recent impulse to describe the few Carboniferous insects both historically and recently found in Spain [9,10].…”

Glaphyrophlebia victoriensis sp. nov. (Paoliida: Blattinopsidae) is the third Gzhelian representative of the genus and is described based on a beautiful forewing from the Var department in Southern France. Together with the description of another forewing fragment of a Glaphyrophlebia sp. from the Province of León in NW Spain, they improve our knowledge of fossil insects from French and Spanish late Carboniferous deposits. The specimen of Glaphyrophlebia sp. is the first mention of the family in the Carboniferous of Spain and extends the geographical distribution of the genus. These descriptions suggest that the genus Glaphyrophlebia was speciose during the Upper Pennsylvanian, while otherwise, very diverse in the early and middle Permian strata of the Russian Federation. We proposed the first hypothesis to explain the diversification of family and of its most speciose genera, and argue their diversity dynamics were likely linked with the major environmental changes that followed the collapse of the Carboniferous rainforest notably the extension of arid biomes during the Permian period. The exquisite preservation and the fineness of the sediment from Tante Victoire, in which the new species was found, suggests that the locality is suitable for preserving other fossil insects and will require additional investigations.

We introduce a novel paoliid, Carbonidelia gallica gen. et sp. nov., which may share close affinities with the 'ideliid ' genus Sojanidelia Storozhenko, 1992. This new taxon is described from Gzhelian strata exposed at Tante Victoire (Var, France). Additionally, we present a remarkably well-preserved forewing from the same outcrop belonging to the phyloblattid genus and species Anthracoblattina ensifer cf. 'variety desguini'. This species was previously known from the Gzhelian of Commentry (Allier, France). Therefore, this finding strengthens the Gzhelian age derived from the study of the palaeoflora at this outcrop.In this study, we also briefly delve into the inter-and intraspecific variability in the forewing venation of the 'Anthracoblattina gigantea-ensifera group'. Furthermore, we challenge the classification of two Mesozoic roachoids, Sobytie tungusicum Vršanský, 2010 and Pozabudnutie antiquorum Hinkelman and Vršanský, 2022, which, in our view, do not belong to the Phyloblattidae family. Instead, they should be regarded as Dictyoptera of uncertain family affinities. A comprehensive revision of these species will be necessary to establish their precise taxonomic positions.
