Abstract: Fossil remains of eight insect orders, a false scorpion (Arachnoidea) and a Decapoda (Crustacea) species have been found in Upper Miocene lacustrine deposits of Tállya and some other localities in the close vicinity. A baëtid larva is especially worth to mention, because fossil Ephemeroptera (apart from the trace fossils) were not found before in the Carpathian Basin, moreover this mayfly family hitherto was not reported from the Miocene at all. The insect-bearing laminated and sometimes tuffitic diatomaceous earth deposited in an eutrophic lake with anoxic bottom conditions. The depth of the lake was more than 10 m. Additionally, a survey is given on the fossil insects have been found earlier in the Carpathian Basin and the neighbouring territories. With 19 figures.
