Descripción
Sumario:Abstract. Besides Erasipteroides valentini (Brauckmann in Brauckmann, Koch & Kemper, 1985), Zessinella siope Brauckmann, 1988, and Namurotypus sippeli Brauckmann & Zessin, 1989, Rasnitsynala sigambrorum gen. et sp. n. is the fourth species of the Odonatoptera from the early Late Carboniferous (Early Pennsylvanian: Namurian B, Marsdenian) deposits of the important Hagen-Vorhalle Konservat-Lagerstätte in Germany. With its wing-span of about 55 mm it is unusually small even for the “Eomeganisoptera”. Its venation resembles other small “Eomeganisoptera”, in particular Zessinella siope. This is why it is here assigned to the probably paraphyletic “Erasipteridae” Carpenter, 1939.
