Type locality: Historical quarry of Menat, Menat, Puy-de-Dôme, France.

Type horizon: Middle Paleocene, Menat Basin.

Material.— Holotype only.

Remarks.— The body structures are very poorly preserved and the venation of tegmen is impossible to decipher.It is only possible to see that there is a dense net of cells covering the tegmen. It is a Tettigoniidae of uncertain affinities, impossible to accurately attribute to the extant genus Conocephalus .
