Family PAOLTIO.T^:, new family. 



In this family I plaee two of Scudder's species of Paolia. Notwith- 

 standing that some features in these forms point to the beginning of a 

 higher specialization, as the spreading out and copious branching of 

 the cubital and anal veins along the inner margin, still I believe that 

 they should ))est be placed, at least for the present, in the Palteodic- 

 tyoptera. Proba])ly thej^ are rather elos(dy allied to the spilaptevids.

 Paolia vptuMa ScroDER, Zittel's Handbueh, I, 1(SS5, p. 758, fig. 942. 



Locality.- — Braxton Quarry, near French Lick, Indiana. Middle 

 Pottsville; Mansfield formation; Quinnimont? stage. 



Scudder referred this form to the protophasmids; Brongniart, on 

 the contrary, to the protolocustids, which, in my opinion, is (juite 

 wrong:

PaoUa htcoana Scudder and I\ superha Scudder belong, in my 

 opinion, in anotli(>r group.
