The insects belong to the species of Ordo Hemiptera – Sub-Ordo Homoptera – Paracicadopsis mendezalzolai gen. ct sp. nov. of the family Cicadopsyllidae Martinov, 1931 and from Ordo Perlaria Perlapsocus formosoi gen. et sp. nov. of the new Perlapsocidae family. Associated to these insects, crustaceans belonging to the Ordo Pygocephalomorpha were for the first time found and are under study, beside fish scales, plant remains and Mesosaurideos already registered.
