Abstract
The discovery of Blanzyhaplolepis beckaryae nov. gen., nov. sp, in the Stephanian B Blanzy-Montceau basin extends the haplolepiform stratigr aphical and paleogeographical distributions. To date this group was kn own from Namurian to Stephanian A, after 13 species in North America, seven in the United Kingdom and a single one in Bohemia. The rarity of this group in continental Europa could indicate that Haplolepiforms w ere mainly marine, also that they found in Upper Carboniferous Europea n limnic basins less propitious conditions than the paralic equivalent s in North America.
