Surijoka lutevensis nov sp.: The first Glosselytrodea (Insecta) from the Upper Permian of France (Lodeve basin)

Surijoka lutevensis nov. sp. is described from the upper part of the Salago u Formation (Saxonian Group, Lodeve basin). This new taxon is described aft er a complete forewing of a Glosselytrodea: Jurinidae. This is the first re cord of this order in the french Permian. Surijoka lutevensis nov. sp. is v ery close to the type species Surijoka grandicella MARTYNOVA, 1958 from the Kazanian of the Kuznetsk Basin, Russia. We discuss on the wing veins homol ogy, and propose a subsequent new wing vein nomenclature and new hypotheses on the phylogenetic relationships of the Glosselytrodea. The family Permob erothidae is excluded from this order and transferred into the Mecopterida, close to the Neuroptera. The Glosselytrodea are tentatively considered as an orthopteroid order.
