A re-examination ot the mecopteroid and orthopteroid fossils (insecta) from the Triassic beds at Denmark Hill, Queensland, with discriptions of further specimens.

Abstract

This paper interrelates the species of mecopteroid and orthopteroid insects (excluding Blattaria), described in the literature, from the Triassic beds at Denmark Hill, Queensland. The affinities of a number of the species are considered to be very different from those proposed in the original descriptions. A new genus of Planipennia and another of Gryllacrididae (Orthoptera) and a new species of Perlaria are described. The order Paratrichoptera Tillyard is relegated to family rank within the suborder Eumecoptera.
