Abstract The new family Lapeyriidae of Odonatoptera, based on a new genus and species from the Upper Permian of Lodevois (France) is the sister group of Nodialata. It represents an evolutionary link between the venation type of the Paleozoic Meganisoptera and that of Odonata. Even if the present discovery demonstrates that the fossil record of the Odonatoptera remains imperfectly known, the present state of knowledge shows that this super order survived the mass extinction at the Permo-Triassic boundary.
