Abstract
Hadenlomoides dwykensis, gen. et sp. nov. (Paraplecoptera: Hadentomidael is the oldest recorded
insect in the southern hemisphere. It is similar to Hadenlomum americanum from the Upper
Carboniferous of North America. The close relationship between these two species tends to support
the view that at least part of the Dwyka Series extends below the Permian into the Upper
Carboniferous.
