a larger part of the anal area than shown in Brongniart’s original

At first, Brongniart believed that the wing of blanchardi belonged 
to the large insect’s body described by him (1882) as Titanophasma 
fay oli but in 1893 (p. 374) he expressed doubt about that. Lameere 
(1917, p. 156) considered the small wing fragment designated as 
Titanoptera maculata Brongniart, 1893, as part of the anal area of 
M. blanchardi. Unfortunately, he did not find this fragment in the 
collections at the Paris Museum. 
Fore wing fragment: length 144 mm, width 51 mm. Color 
markings light, oval, distributed along the stem of Rs between the 
branches and forming an irregular row in the posterior third of the 
wing. Wing broadest at the end of CuA, narrowing towards the 
base. Posterior margin concave at CuA and MA. Apex directed 
backwards. Subcostal area and sc-r area equally broad in the apical 
third; Sc, R and stem of Rs parallel and curved in the distal half; 
Rs with a long row of about 5 curved branches, widely distant from 
each other. First branch of Rs forked three times; MP forked 5
