Two new genera and two new species of fossil rhopalid, Miracorizus punctatus gen. & sp. nov. and Longiclavula calvata gen. & sp. nov., are described and illustrated. They were collected from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Inner Mongolia, China. This is the earliest fossil record of the family Rhopalidae in the world.

Two new species,Symphytopterus gracilersp. nov. of the family Ephialtitidae andPraeaulacus byssinussp. nov. of the family Praeaulacidae, are described and illustrated from the late Middle Jurassic of Jiulongshan Formation at Daohugou in Inner Mongolia, China. Based on new information onS. gracilersp. nov. andP. byssinussp. nov., two taxonomic keys to the known species of generaSymphytopterusandPraeaulacusare provided. By comparing the wings ofSymphytopterus, we find that the change of the veins length is the main interspecific difference andS. liasinusmay occupy the most basal position inSymphytopterus.

In this paper two new genera and three new species of Palaeontinidae are described: Quadraticossus gen.nov., containing two new species, Q. fangi and Q. longicaulis; Hamicossus laevis gen. et sp. nov. These two new genera are established based on both complete forewings and hind wings. All of them were collected from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation at Daohugou Village, Inner Mongolia. The type specimens are deposited in the College of Life Science, Capital Normal University.

Two new genera with two new species, Formosibittacus macularis gen. et sp. nov. and Jurahylobittacus astictus gen. et sp. nov. are described on the basis of well preserved specimens collected from the Jiulongshan Formation (Middle Jurassic) of Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China. Formosibittacus can be distinguished from all known genera by a combination of the following features: three cross-veins between R 1 and R 2+3 ; one pterostigmal cross-vein; and two cross-veins between M 4 and CuA. Jurahylobittacus differs from all known genera by a combination the following of characters: one cross-vein between R 1 and R 2+3 ; one pterostigmal cross-vein; and two cross-veins between M 4 and CuA.

Two new species, Itaphlebia exquisita sp. nov and Itaphlebia laeta sp. nov., were collected from the Jiulongshan Formation (Middle Jurassic) of Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China. A key to the species of the genus Itaphlebia is provided and diagnosis of the genus is revised. Itaphlebia exquisita sp. nov differs from other species in having an extra medial vein branch. Itaphlebia laeta sp. nov shows a transitional character to the extant genera by having a simple Sc. These new findings expand the distribution of Itaphlebia from middle-southern Russia to northeastern China.

Two new genera and new species, Peregrinpachymeridium comitcola gen. et sp. nov. and Corollpachymeridium heteroneurus gen. et sp. nov., of fossil Pachymeridiidae are described and illustrated from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation in Daohugou Village, Shantou Township, Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China. We summarized all fossil genera of pachymeridiids found in China and set up a key to these 7 genera and 7 species. In addition, we hypothesize the significance of a rare, well-preserved, unusual bug fossil showing a male and a female together with their abdomen terminalia facing each other and their heads in the opposite direction.

Nephila are large, conspicuous weavers of orb webs composed of golden silk, in tropical and subtropical regions. Nephilids have a sparse fossil record, the oldest described hitherto being Cretaraneus vilaltae from the Cretaceous of Spain. Five species from Neogene Dominican amber and one from the Eocene of Florissant, CO, USA, have been referred to the extant genus Nephila . Here, we report the largest known fossil spider, Nephila jurassica sp. nov., from Middle Jurassic (approx. 165 Ma) strata of Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China. The new species extends the fossil record of the family by approximately 35 Ma and of the genus Nephila by approximately 130 Ma, making it the longest ranging spider genus known. Nephilidae originated somewhere on Pangaea, possibly the North China block, followed by dispersal almost worldwide before the break-up of the supercontinent later in the Mesozoic. The find suggests that the palaeoclimate was warm and humid at this time. This giant fossil orb-weaver provides evidence of predation on medium to large insects, well known from the Daohugou beds, and would have played an important role in the evolution of these insects.

A new genus with three new species of fossil Buprestidae, Sinoparathyrea bimaculata gen. et sp. nov., S. gracilenta sp. nov., and S. robusta sp. nov., from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Inner Mongolia, China, are described. This is the earliest fossil record of buprestids in China and it is also the first record of buprestids from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of China.

AbstractSome 35 species (mostly Neotropical, 22 new) of acalypterate flies representing 17 genera (3 new) in six families, as follows, are treated: Family Cypselosomatidae. One species from Nepal, Cypselosoma gephyrae Hendel (?), is discussed.Family Pseudopomyzidae. The classification of the family is reviewed, and a key to the world genera is provided. The genus Latheticomyia Wheeler is placed here for the first time, and two new species, L. longiterebra (Peru) and L. rotundicornis (Mexico), are described. Two new genera, Pseudopomyzella and Rhinopomyzella, are erected for three new species, P. flava (Peru), R. albimana (Brazil), and R. nigrimana (Brazil).Family Periscelidae. The genus Periscelis Loew is recorded from Mexico and Peru. Neoscutops peruvianus and Scutops striatus, both from Peru, are described as new.Family Aulacigastridae. The classification of the family is reviewed and a key to the world genera is provided. Schizochroa plesiomorphica (Peru), S. minuta (Ecuador), S. ecuadoriensis (Ecuador), Cyamops neotropicus (Peru), C. australicus (Queensland), and Planinasus venezuelensis (Venezuela) are described as new.Family Odiniidae. The classification of the family is reviewed and a key to the subfamilies and the world genera is provided. Two new species of Schildomyia Malloch, S. peruviana (Peru) and S. trinidadensis, are described. A new genus, Shewellia, is erected for the species S. agromyzina (Peru).Family Heleomyzidae. One new species of Cephodapedon Malloch, C. nigriventer (Chile), is described. The genera Mayomyia Malloch and Cinderella Steyskal are reviewed and placed in this family for the first time. Four species of Cinderella, C. macalpinei (Ecuador), C. pollinosa (Chile), C. hirsuta (Chile), and C. steyskali are described as new.The paper is accompanied by 72 illustrations.
