摘要
Three new fossil wings of dragonflies are described from the Upper Eocene of the Isle of Wight (UK), which add to our knowledge of the Odonata fauna of the Bembridge Insect Bed. They consist of a male hind wing attributed to the Gomphaeschnidae Anglogomphaeschna eocenica, a forewing attributed to the Aeshnidae Aeschnophlebia andreasi, and the first Libellulidae discovered in this outcrop. The two former fossils provide more complete diagnoses of these Aeshnoidea. Although the latter is too incomplete for formal description, it belongs to the subfamily Pantalinae, and is among the oldest known fossils that can be attributed to the crown group of the Libellulidae.
