A new archaeorthopteran family from the late Carboniferous of La Mure (France)
Abstract
The new archaeorthopteran family Roqueiidae is defined for the new genus and species Roqueia alpine, described from the Pennsylvanian (Kasimovian) of La Mure region (Isère, Alps, France). This new taxon is characterized by the set of characters: basal fusion of MA with R, its distal re-emergence from RP, and ending into vein MP. The Roqueiidae are tentatively assigned to the order Cnemidolestodea together with the family Cnemidolestidae.
