The first Cretaceous damselfly of the Jurassic family Steleopteridae (Odonata: Zygoptera), from Surrey, England

Steleopteron cretacicus sp. nov., first Cretaceous and most recent representative of the small Mesozoic family Steleopteridae, is described from the Wealden of the UK. This discovery shows that this Jurassic family survived into the Cretaceous. It probably became extinct during or after the great entomofaunal changes of the Albian - Cenomanian event.
