Abstract
Four new species of snakefly (Raphidioptera: Mesoraphidiidae): Mesoraphidia durlstonensis sp. nov., Mesoraphidia purbeckensis sp. nov., Mesoraphidia websteri sp. nov. and Mesoraphidia mitchelli sp. nov., are described from the Lower Cretaceous Purbeck Limestone Group, southern England. This increases the number of described snakeflies from the Mesozoic deposits of Britain from two to five species, when the doubtful family Priscaenigmatidae is excluded.
