NEW AND LITTLE KNOWN ORTHOPTEROID INSECTS (POLYNEOPTERA) FROM FOSSIL RESINS: COMMUNICATION 1

Abstract

New taxa of uncertain position within the infraclass Polyneoptera (Gryllomantidae fam. nov.: Gryllomantis gen. nov., Lower Cretaceous; Mantoblattidae fam. nov.: Mantoblatta mira gen. et sp. nov., Upper Cretaceous) and within the order Dictyoptera (Pseudojantaropterix gen. nov., Lower Cretaceous) are described. The superfamily Umenocoleoidea of uncertain position within the latter order is discussed on the basis of new information on Jantarimantidae and some other Cretaceous Dictyoptera. © Pleiades Publishing, Inc. 2006.
