A new genus and species of Ithonidae, Puripolystoechotes pumilus gen. et sp. nov., is described from the Middle Jurassic of Inner Mongolia, China. The new genus is distinguished by possessing a hind wing with a simple humeral vein, only three ra-rp crossveins, M forked slightly distal to origin of RP1, and wing membrane without color pattern. This is the third ithonid genus from this locality, showing interesting morphological similarity with the other ithonids from the same locality and period.

Jiulongshan Formation

The new aeshnopteran genus and species Sinocymatophlebiella hasticercus is described from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Inner Mongolia. It shows important similarities with the Jurassic genus Cymatophlebiella from Karatau, suggesting they could belong to the same family, but the latter genus is too poorly known to accurately establish its affinities. The present discovery supports the evolutionary scenario of a Jurassic rapid and massive diversification of the Aeshnoptera, followed by important extinctions during the Late Mesozoic.

The Campterophlebiidae is the largest family of fossil damsel-dragonflies, containing more than 60 species described from Lower Jurassic–Lower Cretaceous strata of Europe and Asia. This group is especially diverse in the Middle–Late Jurassic strata in Inner Mongolia, northeastern China, with some very large species (Zhang et al., 2006, 2008, 2013; Nel et al., 2007, 2008, 2009; Petrulevičius et al., 2011; Li et al., 2013; Zhang et al., 2013; Zheng et al., 2016, 2017). Thus it is surprising that we found a new representative of these damsel-dragonflies, belonging to a group of genera characterized by a very particular shape of the forewing cubito-anal area. This fossil has a unique shape of the forewing median vein, allowing its attribution to a new genus and species. It increases our knowledge about the palaeobiodiversity of this impressive group of Odonata.

AbstractA new genus and species, Aclemus patulus n. gen. n. sp., is described based on a new specimen collected from the latest Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation in Inner Mongolia, China. Based on a combination of characters from this fossil, including a homonomous fore- and hindwing, a 3-branched media vein, wings lacking long cilia on their margins; and a cross-vein absent between subcosta and radius, we establish a new genus assigned to the Eolepidopterigidae. In addition, the diagnosis of Longcapitalis excelsus Zhang, Shih, Labandeira and Ren 2013, is emended based on new fossil material.

Yumenia Hong, 1982 preoccupied by Yumenia Hou, 1958, is replaced with Gansucossus (Hemiptera, Palaeontinidae). The diagnostic characters for Gansucossus are presented and synonymies for Gansucossus pectinatus (Hong, 1982) and Gansucossus luanpingensis (Hong, 1983) are established. The diagnostic characters for G. pectinatus and G. luanpingensis are revised. A new species, Gansucossus typicus sp. nov., is described from the Middle Jurassic of Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China. The new genus Daohugoucossus gen. nov. and new species Daohugoucossus solutus sp. nov., are erected based on a hind wing from the Middle Jurassic of Daohugou.

A new genus and species of rhagionids with a long proboscis, Elliprhagio macrosiphonius gen. et sp. nov., is described from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation in Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China, which is considered to be the earliest hematophagous rhagionid described hitherto according to the typically piercing and sucking mouthparts. All previously documented rhagionids from northeastern China are reviewed a key to genera of Rhagionidae from Daohugou is provided for the first time. The genus Daohugorhagio Zhang, 2013 is considered as a new synonym of Trichorhagio Zhang, 2013.

Jiulongshan Formation

A new genus and species of Mesoserphidae (Hymenoptera), Juraserphus modicus gen. et sp. nov., is described based on a well-preserved fossil specimen from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of northeastern China. It is characterized by the following forewing features: the forking of Rs+M located approximately one-third of the distance between 1m-cu and 2r-rs, both 1cu-a and 2cu-a antefurcal; 1-M more than twice as long as 1m-cu and hind wing with cells r and rm closed. In addition, it has a short ovipositor, only extending slightly beyond the metasomal apex. Its new morphological characters broaden the diversity of Mesoserphidae in the Mesozoic and provide new insights into the evolution and relationships of Mesoserphidae.

A New Species

Contrary to the typical southern distribution of the extant Kempyninae, a subfamily of Osmylidae, its fossil group shows the high diversification in the northern hemisphere during the Mesozoic. Herein a new genus with a new species, Mirokempynus profundobifurcus gen. et sp. nov., and a new species, Jurakempynus loculosus sp. nov., of Kempyninae, are described from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Daohugou Village, Inner Mongolia, China. The new species share the characteristic synapomorphies of Kempyninae, e.g. subcostal veinlets mostly irregularly forked in the forewing and the distinctly expanded intramedial area with multiple rows of cells in the hind wing. The new genus distinctly shows a particular condition of intramedial area and MP branching in the hind wing. However, the condition of the region between MA and MP significantly broadened in the hind wing appear distinctively different to other known kempynine genera. A key is provided for all the genera of documented kempynines, both fossil and extant.

A new genus and two new species of extinct Mesochrysopidae (Neuroptera) are described from the Mesozoic of China:Protoaristenymphes daohugouensis sp. nov., from the Middle Jurassic of Daohugou, Inner Mongolia; and Kareninoideslii gen. et sp. nov., from the Early Cretaceous (Yixian Formation) of Dakangpu, Liaoning Province. The presence of CuPin one hind wing of K. lii gen. et sp. nov. is interpreted as an atavism. Armandochrysopa Nel et al. is regarded as a newjunior synonym of Karenina Martins-Neto. Armandochrysopa inexpecta Nel et al. is tentatively transferred to Kareninoides gen. nov.

A new asellotan isopod of the family Protojaniridae Fresi, Idato & Scipione, 1980 is described from freshwater springs in the Osorno province, Los Lagos region, southern Chile. Wiyufiloides osornoensis gen. & sp. n. is the third South American protojanirid species and the first known groundwater isopod in Chile. The new genus and species is principally characterized by the presence of a vestigial antennal scale, a strongly subchelate pereiopod I and the absence of an apical lobe on the protopod of pleopod II. The new taxon is described in detail and figures are given.
