Abstract
Two new species of the family Spilapteridae, Homaloneura brauckmanni sp. nov. and Baeoneura desperata sp. nov. are described from the Lower Permian insect bearing deposits of the Vorkuta Coal Basin. For Vorkutoneura variabilis Sinitshenkova, 1977 (Spilapteridae), the imaginal forewing and nymphal hindwings are described for the first time. The dictyoneuridan assemblage does not agree with the existing dating of these deposits as Late Permian, as the insect assemblage suggests an Early Permian age.
