Zootaxa. 2021 Sep 29;5047(2):165-170. doi: 10.11646/zootaxa.5047.2.5.

Abstract

The new Archaeorthoptera Duquesnia gallica gen. et sp. nov. Nel Roques, is described from the upper Carboniferous of Northern France. It shows several putative synapomorphies with the three genera Contracladus Dvok et al., 2021 (Pennsylvanian of Germany), Nugonioneura (lower Permian of USA), and Avionugonioneura from the Moscovian of Avion (France).
