The Diplostraca (formerly conchostracans) are a group often collected in the coal basins of northern and eastern France, during the maximal period of activity of the coal industry (end of 19th century, beginning of 20th century); others were collected in Germany, Switzerland, Africa and Russia. Hence, the palaeontological collections of Lille (Musée d?Histoire Naturelle de Lille and University Lille 1) are especially rich in specimens. This paper presents a reasoned catalogue of the collection of the Musée d?Histoire Naturelle de Lille, associated with a brief review of the Palaeozoic diplostracans, and some new or updated data in geology and palaeontology, because this relatively neglected group reveals important in biostratigraphy, sequential stratigraphy, palaeoclimatology, palaeobiology, palaeoecology and palaeobiogeography during both principal stages of the Late Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian); i.e., Moscovian (traditionally Westphalian) and Kasimovian (traditionally Stephanian).
