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.

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.

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.

A new species of Elcanidae (Orthoptera, Elcanoidea), Parelcana pulchmaculasp. nov., is described based on four new specimens from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of northeastern China. The new species differs from all other known Archelcaninae species by its combination of wing-venation characters. This new finding improves our knowledge of variation on wing venation in elcanid insects and constitutes the first record of Elcanidae from the Daohugou fossil bed (Yanliao Biota) of northeastern China.

Abstract New Anomopterella Rasnitsyn, 1975, wasps from the Jiulongshan Formation (Bathonian/Callovian) at Daohugou (Inner Mongolia of China), with well-preserved wings, body, antennae and tarsi, document relationship among species and enhance our understanding of the morphology of the extinct family Anomopterellidae Rasnitsyn, 1975. Based on eight well-preserved specimens, we describe, A. pygmea sp. n. and A. brevis sp. n., describe new materials of A. ovalis Li, Rasnitsyn, Shih & Ren, 2013, and A. ampla Li, Rasnitsyn, Shih & Ren, 2013, emend the genus in Anomopterellidae (A. pygmea sp. n. with toruli and eyes), and provide a determination key to species of the genus, including four specimens outside the formal classification.

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.

Three new species, <i>Grammolingia uniserialis</i> n. sp., <i>Grammolingia binervis</i> n. sp., and <i>Grammolingia sticta</i> n. sp. are described from the Jiulongshan Formation of northeastern China. <i>G. uniserialis</i> n. sp. exhibits a single row of cells in the costal area almost along the entire wing length except the basal part, which is rare in the family and firstly found in this genus. <i>G. binervis</i> n. sp. and <i>G. sticta</i> n. sp. add two new patterns of wing markings to the family. A key to the species of <i>Grammolingia</i> Ren, 2002 is provided. All types of wing markings present in this family are classified. <br><br> doi:<a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/mmng.201300008" target="_blank">10.1002/mmng.201300008</a>

Two new genera, each with a new species, Perissoderma triangulum gen. et sp. nov. and Abrderma gracilentum gen. et sp. nov., of the family Protodiplatyidae are described from the latest Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China. They are the first records of Protodiplatyidae from the latest Middle Jurassic Daohugou locality. Both new genera are assigned to Protodiplatyidae based mainly on diagnostic characters of antennae, pronotum, tegmina, tarsi and the distinct long, slender, multi-segmented cerci. We summarize the distributions and ages of all described fossil Archidermaptera and infer that the Dermaptera might have originated in Eurasia and started their diversification and migration to a worldwide distribution. The new taxon of Abrderma gracilentum gen. et sp. nov. provides one more example of an early earwig with well-preserved pentamerous tarsi on the hind leg.
