Fossils were discovered in the French Stephanian Coal Measures of Commentry in 1880. In 1885, French paleontologist Charles Brongniart described and named the fossil "Meganeura" (large-nerved), which refers to the network of veins on the insect's wings. Another fine fossil specimen was found in 1979 at Bolsover in Derbyshire. The holotype is housed in the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, Paris.

- Meganeura is a genus of extinct insects from the Carboniferous period (approximately 300 million years ago), which resembled and are related to the present-day dragonflies.
- Meganeura was a monster dragonfly in the coal swamps of the Carboniferous. It was as large as an eagle, and fed on creatures smaller than itself. Along with many other big bugs, Meganeura became extinct when the forests declined and the world became a drier place. The rise in oxygen levels of the Carboniferous was the reason bugs evolved bigger.
- Meganeura is a large, dragonfly-like cryptid. It made its first and only appearance in War of the Cryptids.
