Studies on North American Carboniferous Insects. 9. a New Species of Eubleptidae From Mazon Creek (Palaeodictyoptera)

In a previous part of this series (Carpenter, 1983) I discussed the structure and relationships of the extinct family Eubleptidae and its unique generic representative, Eubleptus danielsi Handlirsch. This was based on my study of the 17 specimens of the insect then known, all from the Upper Carboniferous of Mazon Creek, Illinois. Since then, Mr. Michael A. Madsen, of Darien, Illinois, has kindly loaned me for study a well-preserved specimen of a new species also belonging to Eubleptus. Since this contributes considerably to our understanding of the family, I am describing it here.
