Abstract—

A new genus and two new species Taigahymen borealis gen. et sp. nov. from the family Bardohymenidae and Cyclocelis devexa sp. nov. from the family Sphecopteridae are described from the Permian insect-bearing deposits of the Vorkuta basin. No representatives of the order Mischopterida have been previously recorded from the Vorkuta basin. The both new species are the latest and northernmost species of their families. These species, similar to those from the Carboniferous and Lower Permian deposits, do not contradict the Ufimian age of the Vorkuta Group.
