The wing venation and systematics of Lower Permian Diaphanopterodea from the Ural Mountains, Russia (Insecta: Paleoptera)

Abstract
Extinct Diaphanopterodea are described from the Lower Permian of Tshekarda, Urals, Russia: Parelmoidae: Uralia n.gen. (Uralia maculata n.sp. and Uralia sharovi n.sp.); Paruraliidae n.fam.: Paruralia n.gen. (Paruralia rohdendorfi n.sp. and Paruralia carpenteri n.sp.). Of all Paleozoic insects, the exceedingly well-preserved specimens of U. maculata have contributed the most important clues to the pterygote ground plans of the head, mouthparts, leg segmentation, thoracic and abdominal pleura, and genitalia.
