A new malachite damselfly, Palaeophylolestes distinctus n. gen., n. sp., is described from the Paleocene Menat locality. It can be distinguished from other Synlestidae owing to the very long wing veins MA, MP and CuA, and a unique combination of other wing venation features. The occurrence of a Synlestidae in the western Palaearctic area (while extant species occur in Australia, the Oriental region, South-East Asia, South Africa and Hispaniola) is not unexpected given the known fossil record of these insects and climatic conditions prevailing at Menat during the Paleocene.
Palaeophylolestes distinctus n. gen., n. sp., un nouvelle demoiselle malachite (Odonata: Zygoptera: Synlestidae) de la localité paléocène de Menat (France).
Une nouvelle demoiselle malachite, Palaeophylolestes distinctus n. gen., n. sp., est décrite de la localité Paléocène de Menat. Elle se distingue des autres Synlestidae par des nervures alaires MA, MP et CuA très longues et une unique combinaison de traits de nervation alaire. L'occurrence d'un Synlestidae dans la zone Paléarctique occidentale (tandis que les espèces actuelles sont présentes en Australie, dans la région orientale, en Asie du sud-est, en Afrique du Sud et en Hispaniola) n'est pas inattendue considérant le registre fossile connu de ces insectes et les conditions climatiques régnant à Menat au Paléocène.
