- Abstract
The family Sinonamuropteridae has been erected for nine fossil insect species from the Late Carboniferous Tupo Formation (Ningxia, China), each represented by a single isolated forewing. The family has been assigned to the order Diaphanopterodea (extinct palaeopteran order). We investigated the forewing venation pattern and its variability in this family based on an abundant collection from the same locality. Based on new data on Chelopterum peregrinum (Grylloblattida; Lower Permian; Wellington Formation, U.S.A.) and the new material, we demonstrate that the nine sinonamuropteridaean species form a single one: Sinonamuropteris ningxiaensis. The following genera are considered as synonyms of Sinonamuropteris: Separatonerva, Combonerva and Tectonerva The following species (all with , as their authority) are considered as synonyms of S. ningxiaensis: Separatonerva longa, Separatonerva qilianshanensis, Combonerva granulata, Combonerva huangheensis, Tectonerva longovata, Sinonamuropsis zhongweiensis, Sinonamuropsis rugoverrucosa, Sinonamuropsis xiaheyanensis The family must be assigned to the neopteran order Grylloblattida.
