Divergence time

Information should be in Pin's book "The historical development of the insect class" 1980
tr PIN, USSR Academy of Sciences, vol. 175, 256c (B. B. Rodendorff, A. P. Rasnitsyn ed.)
It was also reprinted in English with some additions
by Rasnitsyn, A. P., Quicke, D. L. J. (eds.). History of Insects. Dordrecht etc.: Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2002. 517 pp, 503 figs.
I don't have it on hand right now, unfortunately... but in solid scientific libraries it is available.
Another book published by Grimaldi, as an alternative to the Soviet paleoentomological school: "Evolution of the Insects", 2005, David Grimaldi, Michael S. Engel, Cambridge Press, 772 pp.
And I found a few more articles, maybe something will come in handy..

Thank you very much, I'll try to find it...
