We describe the second representative of the phyloblattid genus Anthracoblattina from the late Carboniferous Reyran Basin (Esterel, Var Department, France). This specimen represents a distinct species that differs from the previously described taxon from the same area by having a shorter ScP vein, a broader area occupied by vein M, and a shorter wing overall, thereby confirming the underestimated diversity of Carboniferous insect assemblages of the region. In addition, we also report and describe an unnamed representative of the family Archimylacridae from the same outcrop, constituting the first record of this family from the area.
