Figs. 2 A; 6A.

Mesopanorpodes mostovskii: Novokshonov, Sukacheva & Aristov, 2004 , p. 214, fig. 1.

Holotype. PIN, no. 4811/20, forewing (part and counterpart).

Locality and Horizon. Nedubrovo locality, Vologda Province, North European Russia; Nedubrovo Member of Vokhmian Formation, Lower Induan, Lower Triassic.

Revised diagnosis. Forewing oblong, narrow, with ovoid apex, 4.7 mm long, ~ 1.4 mm wide. Anterior margin slightly convex in basal third. SC branch at level of RS+MA base. Crossvein sc–r distal to RS+MA fork. CuA and MP fused for a distance much shorter than that between MP+CuA fork and cua–cup crossvein. Free base of CuA oblique, distinctly curved. Crossvein mp–cua somewhat before MP fork (at thyridium).

Remarks. The pterostigma and color pattern as well as most of the crossveins are not traceable due to the poor state of preservation; only cua–cup and sc–r are visible.

Unfortunately, Victor Novokshonov did not have time to finish his work on Mesopanorpodes mostovskii from the Nedubrovo locality. The manuscript was prepared after his death by I.D. Sukacheva and D.S. Aristov, which resulted in a few flaws in the original description, corrected herein.
