The earliest insect from Romania is described and named Phyloblatta resitensis sp. nov. based on the discovery of a unique tegmen from the lower Stephanian of the old Secu colliery tip, Resita Basin, southwest Romania. It is a cockroachoid (blattodean) and the first Carboniferous insect to be recorded from the border area of east and southeast Europe; hopefully, it represents the start of a new entomofauna. The taxonomic challenge of interpreting cockroachoid wing venation is briefly discussed.
