Abstract

The present paper describes stoneflies Vyazonemoura storozhenkoi gen. et sp. nov. of the Palaeonemouridae family from the Upper Permian (Severodvinian Stage, Vyazovka Formation) locality of Vyazovka, Orenburg Region, Russia. The peculiar structure of the very narrow Vyazonemoura wing and some similarities in venation with Triassic stoneflies are discussed.
