Louispitonia enigmatica ( Piton, 1940) comb. nov.
Holotype: MNHN-F-R06999, an incomplete hindwing ( Piton 1940: fig. 12).
Type locality: South-east of the village of Menat, Menat Basin, Puy-de-Dôme, France.
Type horizon: Middle Paleocene.
Remarks.— Piton (1940) described an incomplete hindwing from the Paleocene of Menat that he named Archaeophlebia enigmatica , and attributed to the ephemeropteran family “ Protoneuridae ” Piton, 1940 (not the damselfly family Protoneuridae Tillyard, 1917 ). Nel and Roy (1996) revised it and attributed this fossil to the Chaeteessidae , but they were not aware that the genus name Archaeophlebia was preoccupied by the extant genus Archaeophlebia Ris, 1909 ( Odonata : Libellulidae ). Thus we propose a new genus name in replacement of Archaeophlebia Piton, 1940 .
Stratigraphic and geographic range.—Only type locality.
