Type species: Paranarkemina kurtzi Pinto & Ornellas, 1980 , by original designation. Emended diagnosis: Fore wing relatively wide. ScP distally fused with RA . Origin of RP close to the origin of MP . MP +CuA not strongly convergent to MA. Supporting cross vein ma–mp absent. CuP convergent and distally fused with AP. Comparison: Paranarkemina differs from the other known genera of the Proedischiidae , except Argentinonarkemina gen. n. , in having the origin of RP close to the origin of MP . See schematic pattern of the main veins in Fig. 6 . Constituent species: P. kurtzi Pinto & Ornellas, 1980 (= P. velizensis Pinto & Ornellas, 1981 ) (Upper Carboniferous, Argentina ) and P. martinsnetoi Würdig, Pinto & AdamiRodrigues, 1998 (Upper Carboniferous, Paraná Basin, Brazil ). Remarks: Storozhenko (1998) considered Paranarkemina velizensis as a fragment of the hind wing of the last-instar subimago of P. kurtzi and synonymised both species, with which we agree. Genus Argentinonarkemina Martins-Neto, Gallego & Brauckmann , gen. n. Fig. 7 Etymology: After Argentina , where the material comes from, in combination with Narkemina . Gender feminine. Type species: Paranarkemina amosi Pinto, 1992 , here designated. Figs 6, 7. Schematic drawing of wing venation: (6) Paranarkemina martinsnetoi ; (7) Argentinonarkemina amosi . Vein designations: see Fig. 2. Diagnosis: Origin of RP close to origin of MP . MP +CuA strongly convergent to MA, ma–mp present and CuP not distally fused with AP. Comparison: Similar to Paranarkemina in having the origin of RP close to the origin of MP , differing however by having MP +CuA strongly convergent to MA, and ma–mp present, as well as CuP not distally fused with AP. Species included: Argentinonarkemina amosi (Pinto, 1992) , comb. n.
