Grylloblattidan insects from Sperbersbach and Cabarz (Germany), two new early Permian and insect-rich localities

Abstract New fossil insect specimens from two new localities in Germany, namely Sperbersbach and Cabarz (Goldlauter Formation; early Permian), belonging to the Grylloblattida, are described. Abundant material is assigned Pictoborella clara n. gen. sp., regarded as closely related germanica (Prokop et al., 2012) comb., Saar-Nahe Basin (Germany; Permian). Liomopterum fuscatum represented by fewer specimens, delimited based on previously published data various spp. Two other Liomopteridae, Uralioma thuringiensis sp. Liomopterites sperbersbachensis each known a single forewing, also Finally, Cabarzopterum magnificus with unclear familial affinities, described three forewings. The assemblages of grylloblattidan insects at generally similar, differences probably different depositional environments local paleoclimatic conditions.
