Abstract

Three new fossil wings of dragonflies are described from the Upper Eocene of the Isle of Wight (UK), which add to our knowledge of the Odonata fauna of the Bembridge Insect Bed. They consist of a male hind wing attributed to the Gomphaeschnidae Anglogomphaeschna eocenica, a forewing attributed to the Aeshnidae Aeschnophlebia andreasi, and the first Libellulidae discovered in this outcrop. The two former fossils provide more complete diagnoses of these Aeshnoidea. Although the latter is too incomplete for formal description, it belongs to the subfamily Pantalinae, and is among the oldest known fossils that can be attributed to the crown group of the Libellulidae.

英国怀特岛上始新世的新蜻蜓（蜻蜓目：鞘翅目）

本文描述了来自英国怀特岛上始新世的三件新的蜻蜓翅膀化石，它们丰富了我们对本布里奇昆虫床蜻蜓动物群的认识。这些化石包括一个属于 Gomphaeschnidae 的雄性后翅，一个属于 Aeshnidae 的前翅，以及在该露头发现的第一个 Libellulidae。前两种化石提供了对这些网纹目化石更完整的诊断。虽然后者太不完整，无法进行正式描述，但它属于潘塔林亚科，是已知可归属于栗鼠科冠群的最古老化石之一。

期刊介绍： The Proceedings of the Geologists'' Association is an international geoscience journal that was founded in 1859 and publishes research and review papers on all aspects of Earth Science. In particular, papers will focus on the geology of northwestern Europe and the Mediterranean, including both the onshore and offshore record. Following a long tradition, the PGA will focus on: i) a range of article types (see below) on topics of wide relevance to Earth Sciences ii) papers on aspects of Earth Science that have societal relevance including geoconservation and Earth management, iii) papers on palaeoenvironments and palaeontology of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, iv) papers on aspects of Quaternary geology and climate change, and v) papers on the history of geology with particular reference to individuals that have shaped the subject. These topics will also steer the content of the themes of the Special Issues that are published in the PGA.
