A wing of Phasmida from the Cretaceous Period (Insecta)
View through CrossRef
AbstractA fossil wing from the Coniacean, Upper Cretaceous, of Greenland is referred to Phasmida (Cheleutoptera), and based on this, the phylogeny of the order is discussed. Phasmida appears to be more closely related Acridoidea than to any other orthopteroid group.
