Summary

New orthopteran Crinoedischia lapeyriei sp. nov. is described and illustrated from the Middle Permian (Guadalupian) of Lodève Basin in southern France. The new species is separated from the Lower Permian (Artinskian) Crinoedischia species by differences in wing venation pattern such as long ScP with anterior branches, RA with prominent distal branches, and MA ending with three branches. The significance and parallels of entomofaunas between Salagou and Wellington formations (Lodève, Elmo, Midco) are briefly discussed.

Résumé

L’espèce d’Orthoptère nouvelle Crinoedischia lapeyriei sp. nov. est décrite et figurée du Permien moyen (Guadaloupien) du bassin de Lodève (Sud de la France). Cette espèce se sépare des autres Crinoedischia du Permien inférieur (Artinskien) par des différences dans la nervation alaire tel que ScP avec des branches antérieures, RA avec des branches distales proéminentes, MA avec trois branches terminales. La signification du parallélisme entre les entomofaunes des formations Salagou et Wellington (Lodève, Elmo, Midco) sont brièvement discutées.
