Type species. Duquesnia gallica sp. nov. Nel & Roques
Diagnosis. Forewing characters only. CuPa ending into M+CuA and not in a free CuA; no CuPaβ, vein M distally forked; CuA+CuPa forked; ScP ending into RA; no short posterior branches of CuA+CuPa; three main branches of RP; area between RA and RP broad; CuPb posteriorly pectinate.
Etymology. Named after Mr Hervé Duquesne, who found the holotype.

( Figs. 1–2 View FIGURE 1 View FIGURE 2 )
Type material. Specimen Fa 0030/DH (a nearly complete forewing, very close but well-separated from two more poorly preserved hind wings, probably of the same specimen), stored at The Musée d’Histoire Naturelle de Grenoble, France .
Etymology. Named after Gallia, Latin name for France.
Type locality. Found in a core sample of the operating group of Lens-Lievin, Pas-de-Calais, France .
Stratigraphic occurrence. Moscovian (Westphalian C/D equivalent to Bolsovian/Asturian).
Diagnosis. As for the genus by monotypy.
Description. Forewing elongate, 9.8 mm long, 2.9 mm wide; ScP reaching RA at 6.1 mm from wing base; costal area rather narrow, 0.4 mm wide with a series of simple curved veinlets; no visible crossvein in area between ScP and R; RP separating from RA 3.9 mm from wing base; area between RA and RP broad, 0.6 mm wide, with one row of cells, apically narrower; strongly convex RA with a series of short, more or less curved anterior veinlets between it and anterior wing margin; apex of RA 0.7 mm of wing apex; RP with three main posterior branches, two of them being twiged distally, parallel to M; RA and RP approximate in apical parts; a common stem R+M+CuA; convex M+CuA separating from R 3.1 mm from wing base, straight; M separating from CuA+CuPa 1.0 mm from base of M+CuA+CuPa; M with two simple branches; strongly convex CuA+CuPa forked; concave CuPa with an angle at point of separation between CuPa and CuPb, with stem elongate, 2.7 mm long; CuPa short, diverging vertically upward and ending into M+CuA; concave CuPb with three short posterior branches; convex PCu curved and simple in its preserved part.
Two strongly deformed and incomplete wings very close to the forewing. One shows three anal veins disposed in a small fan, two of them with distal forks ( Figs. 1B View FIGURE 1 , 2C View FIGURE 2 ).
