This specialized journal aims to be a high-quality platform for bringing together recent research and discoveries in fossil insects and other terrestrial arthropods, as well as other amber inclusions (Azar et al., 2018). The new journal has been warmly welcomed by the palaeoentomological community and sustained stable development in the first five years (2018–2022). In November 2022, Palaeoentomology was accepted by Clarivate for coverage in the Emerging Sources Citation Index™ (ESCI) in the Web of Science Core Collection™, and is expected to have its first journal impact factor in mid-June 2023. All papers published during 2018–2022 in Palaeoentomology were indexed in ESCI in January 2023.

Particular characters, such as the desclerotised MP, are better observed and complemented by Reflectance Transforming Imaging documentation. The new specimen might be a hind wing with a reduced plicatum, a trait yet unknown in grylloblattids.
