A new genus with a new species of Chresmodidae (Insecta: Gryllones), Sinochresmoda magnicornia gen. et sp. nov., including specimens of male, female and nymph, is described and illustrated. These fossils were collected from the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous of Yixian Formation of Liutiaogou Village, Inner Mongolia (Nei Mongol Autonomous Region), China. Both male and female possess wings, and have sexual dimorphism in antenna. Antennae of male are highly specialized and horn-shaped, incurvated as horn with the scape strongly expanded, and the first segment of the flagella incurvated as a pair of brackets, while antennae of female are normally filiform. Wings of the new species are short, not exceeding the length of the abdomen. Fringe hairs along the wing margins, a unique feature for Chresmodidae, are dense, wavy and bundled together. Nymphs and adults probably lived in the same environment. In addition, one specimen demonstrates the extraordinary structure of tarsus with a high number of “tarsomeres”, which has been reported in other species of this family.

In 1988, an incomplete skeleton of a stegosaurian dinosaur was found in Lower Cretaceous strata of the Ordos Basin of China by the Dinosaur Project (China – Canada – Alberta – Ex Terra). The material includes an articulated series of vertebrae from the last three cervicals to the first five caudals, and the right ilium. The specimen is identified as a new species called Wuerhosaurus ordosensis. It is the only Lower Cretaceous stegosaur known with an articulated series of dorsal vertebrae, which have been reduced to eleven in number.

A new species of the family Prophalangopsidae, Ashanga borealis sp.n., is described from the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Fomation (Liaoning Province, P.R. China). The male forewing of the new species is similar to that of the Middle/Upper Jurassic species Ashanga clara Zherikhin 1985, but differs from it in possessing a forewing arched anterior margin, RS branching more basally, and MP + CuA1 with more branches. The fossil record of Chifengiinae is reviewed.

Two species of Jurodidae: Jurodes ignoramus and Jurodes minor are redescribed, new characters presented, and characters from original descriptions are phylogenetically reevaluated, justifying a placement of the family within the suborder Archostemata. The new species Jurodes shef sp. nov. from the Lower Cretaceous locality Khasurty (Berriasian-Barremian, Zakamenskiy district, Buryatia Republic, Russia) is described and 2 new specimens of J. ignoramus Ponomarenko, 1985 and 5 additional specimens of J. minor Ponomarenko, 1990 are recorded. Jurodids from Khasurty are morphologically closer to those from Daohugou locality (Middle–Upper Jurassic, Inner Mongolia, China).
