晚宾夕法尼亚世（卡西莫瓦世，早斯蒂芬世）亚至山周苏斯盆地，位于今天摩洛哥高阿特拉斯山脉西南部，包含迄今为止唯一已知的北非晚古生代昆虫动物，同时也是最南端的欧洲昆虫动物。本研究提供了系统描述、鉴定和修正了系统分类中系统分类中系统分类中系统分类中系统分类中系统分类中系统分类中系统分类中系统分类中系统分类中系统分类中的几个种。与欧洲和北美几个昆虫地区的同类物种相比，相对大量保存完好的门蝗前翅，使我们能够深入了解脉脉模式的个体、种内和种间变异性，这是描述新标本和修订几个老物种不可或缺的基础。苏斯虫床覆盖了广泛的潜在栖息地。它们位于苏斯盆地内不同的古地理位置，分布在900米厚的沉积层序列中。单个昆虫床代表了不同的沉积和生物亚环境，从沼泽和泥潭到河流主导的大环境中的浅湖和深湖。
The Late Pennsylvanian (Kasimovian, early Stephanian) sub- to perimontaneous Souss basin, situated in the present-day southwestern High Atlas mountains of Morocco, contains the hitherto only known late Paleozoic entomofauna from North Africa, which is simultaneously also the southernmost Euramerican entomofauna. The present study provides descriptions, identifications, and revisions of several species belonging to the genera Phyloblatta and Anthracoblattina (family Phyloblattidae) and of the genus Compsoblatta (family Compsoblattidae). A relatively large number of well-preserved Phyloblatta forewings, compared with congeneric species from several insect localities in Europe and North America, permits insights into the individual, intraspecific, and interspecific variability of the venation pattern as indispensable base for the description of the new specimens and the revision of several older species. The Souss insect beds cover a wide range of potential habitats. They are situated in different paleogeographical positions within the Souss basin and scattered across a 900 m thick succession of sediments. The single insect beds represent different sedimentary and biotic subenvironments from swamps and mires to shallow and deep lakes within a fluvial-dominated megaenvironment.
