Abstract

Thanetophilosina menatensis gen. n., sp. n. (Zygoptera: Megapodagrionidae) is described from the Palaeocene of France. Two new species of Stenolestes (Zygoptera: Sieblosiidae) and a new specimen of Stenolestes fischeri Nel, 1986 are described from the Oligocene of France. Three unnamed new Coenagrionidae, a lestid, Lestes brisaci sp. n., and a libellulid, Caussanelia papaziani gen. n., sp. n. are described from the Upper Oligocene of south-east France. An unnamed new species of Coenagrionidae is described from the Upper Miocene of central France. These new taxa increase our knowledge of the palaeodiversity of odonatan faunas in the Tertiary of western Europe.
