Abstract

Two new species of Kennedyidae: Kennedya madygensis sp. nov and K. ferganensis sp. nov. are described from the Middle-Upper Triassic deposits of the Dzhayloucho (Madygen) locality in Kyrgyzstan based on new material collected in 2007 and 2009. K. carpenteri Pritykina, 1981 is redescribed and variation in its discoidal area and other vein structures is demonstrated. The structure and transformation of the nodus in Kennedyidae are discussed.
