It can be readily distinguished by the blackish thoracic nota with a light median stripe; forewings with only a prominent pterostigmal band at most in female, and no markings in male; the dorsal valve of aedeagus bifurcated medially into a short ventral branch and a long curved dorsal branch; the female genital plate with the main plate recurved ventrad into an arc-shaped lobe at the base, and the axis divergent broadly at the basal half.展开更多

Genera Orthophlebia and Protophlebia are remained in the family Orthophlebiidae while genus Mesophlebia is disassembled, in which the species are ascribed to Orthophlebia if Rs1 at least with 3 branches, and to Protophlebia if Rs1 only with 2 branches. Three subgenera are erected in Orthophlebia and Protophlebia respectively according to the relationship between stems of Rs and MA, i.e. Rs forking earlier or later than MA, or at the same level as MA.展开更多

All of them were recovered from the Middle Jurassic non-marine sedimentary strata of northeastern China. The new material from China reveals that the early diversification of pseudopolycentropodids was well underway by the Middle Jurassic.展开更多

In the present paper one new genus and three new species of fossil mesopsychids are described that add significant distributional and stratigraphic extensions to the family. This finding documents the first formal record of fossil Mesopsychidae in China. Both Lichnomesopsyche gloriae gen. et sp. nov. and L. daohugouensis gen. et sp. nov. were found from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Inner Mongolia, whereas Vitimopsyche kozlovi sp. nov., of mid Early Cretaceous age, was collected from the Jehol Biota of northern Hebei Province. This new, wellpreserved material from China reveals complete and previously unknown body features, including head, antennae, mouthparts, legs and abdomen. The delicate and long proboscides of these new taxa indicate that they were feeding on externally exposed, nutrient-rich fluids of gymnospermous ovulate fructifications, and incapable of piercing surface epidermis - attributable principally to the absence of stylets. These proboscides originated, perhaps multiply, among basal Mecoptera and are functionally and structurally convergent with equivalent mouthparts borne by fossil and extant Diptera, Lepidoptera, Neuroptera and Coleoptera.展开更多

This specimen was collected from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation at Liutiaogou in Inner Mongolia, China. This is the first record of a cimbrophlebiid from the Jehol biota. A key to all species of Cimbrophlebia is given. A preliminary review of published taxa data indicates that from the Middle Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous, Mecoptera became less diverse and less abundant in northeastern China at familiar level（from 11 to 6）, generic level（from 32 to 8） and specific level（from 44 to 14）.展开更多
