ResumoBéthoux, O., Beattie, R.G. & Nel, A., September, 2007. Wing venation and relationships of the order Glosselytrodea (Insecta). Alcheringa 31, 285-296. ISSN 0311-5518. A hind wing of Eoglosselytrum perplexa (Riek, 1953 Riek, E. F. 1953. Fossil mecopteroid insects from the Upper Permian of New South Wales. Records of the Australian Museum, 23: 55–87. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) (Insecta: Glosselytrodea) is described from the type locality. Evidence from the new material contradicts the wing-venation interpretation of Béthoux et al. (2001 Béthoux, O., Nel, A., Gand, G. and Lapeyrie, J. 2001. Surijoka lutevensis, nov. sp.: the first Glosselytrodea (Insecta) from the Upper Permian of France (Lodève basin). Geobios, 34: 405–413. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) but favours that of Carpenter (1992 Carpenter F. M. 1992 Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part R. Arthropoda 4. Vol. 3. Superclass Hexapoda The Geological Society of America and The University of Kansas; Boulder Colorado and Lawrence, Kansas xxi + 277 pp [Google Scholar]). Close relationships of the Glosselytrodea with polyneopterous orders are excluded. A more precise assignment than ‘within the clade Paraneoptera + Holometabola’ is not possible based on current knowledge. O.
