However, a branched CuA is extremely rare in Megasecopteromorpha. Based on our literature search, the only known cases are two isolated wings belonging to the Parelmoidae species Stenodiapha moravica Kukalová-Peck, 1974 (see original description). However, a translocation of a branch of MP onto CuA, coupled with a pectinate fusion, is an alternative, plausible interpretation. Vein translocation has been documented in many different taxa of Neoptera, and in particular in orthopterans (Béthoux 2007, 2012) and grylloblattodeans (Cui et al. 2015). Translocation can also lead to a ‘pectinate fusion’, and one of the best examples is the organisation of the radial system in dictyopterans (Guo et al. 2013). Such transformation is also known in Hemerobiidae Leach, 1815 (neuropterans; among others, see Carpenter [1940], Aspöck et al. [1980]) and some orthopterans (Béthoux 2012). Such transformations are apparently less common among palaeopteran taxa, but it can be considered established in Spilapteridae Brongniart, 1893 (Rostropalaeoptera; Liu et al. 2015; Sinitshenkova 2025). Bearing this in mind, a translocation of a posterior branch of MP, with a partial fusion of its posterior branch with CuA, is a plausible explanation for the morphology observed in the specimen CNU-DIA-SS-2024001 (‘translocated MP branch’ interpretation; Fig. 2C). Moreover, in known Parelmoidae, MP usually has two or three branches, and rarely four. Under the ‘branched CuA’ interpretation (Fig. 2A), the specimen would then have a two-branched MP, which is incongruous, given its large size (relative to other Parelmoidae), very generally implying a relatively higher number of vein branches. Conversely, if the first two anterior branches of the seemingly branched CuA are assigned to MP (assuming translocation and pectinate fusion), the latter vein then has a total of four branches, more consistent with its size. It must be noted that veins elevation in this area of the wing is homogeneous, and therefore does not provide insights on the nature of the corresponding veins. In summary, the ‘translocated MP branch’ interpretation provides a plausible answer to the peculiar configuration observed in the specimen CNU-DIA-SS-2024001. It remains unclear whether a translocation of a MP branch is an unusual or a usual feature of the corresponding species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03822058FFBD442E5E2D486AFDF192F9	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
