Abstract
Abstract. The first discovery of an insect wing from the Taiyuan
Formation, near Yangquan City, Shanxi Province, China, is described. The
combination of its wing venation characters makes it difficult to assign
it to any known major Paleozoic group. The comparison is made among the
new material, stem-Orthoptera species, and “fossil Grylloblattodea”. Further
investigation on fossil insects from this locality is needed.

Fossil Record (FR) is the palaeontological journal of the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin. This journal was founded in 1998 under the name Mitteilungen aus dem Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, Geowissenschaftliche Reihe and appears with two issues each year. Fossil Record publishes original papers in all areas of palaeontology including the taxonomy and systematics of fossil organisms, biostratigraphy, palaeoecology, and evolution. All taxonomic groups are treated, including invertebrates, microfossils, plants, and vertebrates.
