Abstract

Some Palaeodictyoptera from the collection of the Museum of Natural History of Lille (France) are described or revised. These are the spilapterid Spilaptera belgica sp. nov. and Gallospilaptera pectinata gen. et sp. nov., the breyeriid Breyeria delruei Laurentiaux, 1949 and Breyeropsis stopai Laurentiaux & Laurentiaux-Vieira, 1951 (as junior synonym of B. delruei stat. nov.), and the lithomanteid ‘Hadroneuriopsis cf. heidi Laurentiaux, 1958’ (= Lithomantis heidi (Laurentiaux, 1950)).
