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.

A new genus with a new species (Jurachresmoda gaskelli gen. et sp. nov.) of Chresmodidae (Insecta: Polyneoptera: Orthopterida) is described and illustrated. They were collected from the Middle Jurassic in Daohugou, Jiulongshan Formation, Inner Mongolia (Nei Mongol Autonomous Region), China. J. gaskelli have fringing hairs on tarsi and a part of tibiae of mid legs. These hairs and leg structures were probably associated with its water-skiing locomotion on freshwater. A high number of tarsomeres, e. g. ultra-articulated tarsi as reported in other species of Chresmodidae, are also found for this new species. But, these true tarsi are mixed with some wrinkles resulted from dehydration and compression during fossilization process. Nymphs of the new species are also described. This is the first time that long and segmented cerci of the nymph are described in Chresmodidae.

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.

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.

AbstractA new rove beetle, Sinanthobium daohugouense, new genus, new species, is described and illustrated on the basis of a tiny impression fossil from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation at Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China. The new genus is placed in the subfamily Omaliinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae), tentatively in the Recent tribe Anthophagini. The first find of a definitive omaliine beetle from the Middle Jurassic of China provides direct evidence on the origin and early evolution of Omaliinae.

A new genus, Sigmaboilus gen. nov., is established and attributed to Aboilinae (Insecta, Orthoptera, Prophalangopsidae). It includes three new species, Sigmaboilus gorochovi sp. nov., S. sinensis sp. nov., and S. longus sp. nov., from the Middle Jurassic of Daohugou in Inner Mongolia, China, and is distinguished from other genera within Aboilinae by the remarkably long C vein in the tegmen.

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 with a new species, Fuscopolystoechotes reticulatus Xu, Zheng, Shih & Wang, gen. et sp. nov., and a new species Lichenipolystoechotes fenestratus Xu, Fang, Shih & Wang, sp. nov. of Ithonidae, are described from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation, Inner Mongolia, China. Both new species are assigned to Polystoechotes genus-group mainly based on the combination of following characters: the distinctly narrowed costal space in distal half, presence of recurrent humeral veinlet and ScA, absence of interlinked crossveins in between costal crossveins, converged ScP and RA and pectinately branched MA and MP in distal. But the new genus of Fuscopolystoechotes gen. nov. is differentiated from all other genera by a combination of characters, i.e., specialized markings on forewing; scp-ra crossveins absent; CuP with pectinate branches and crossveins in RP–A area complicated. These two new species with the remarkable markings in forewings are considered to be adapted for the particular Mesozoic environments for camouflage or mimicry.

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>

ABSTRACTThe genus Orthobittacus was established by Willmann (1989) and is characterised by a long Sc vein and the unusually developed medial sector for the Bittacidae. Four Jurassic species have been described in this genus to date: O. abshiricus (Martynova, 1951) from Kirgizia; O.desacuminatus (Bode, 1953) from Braunschweig (Germany); O. polymitus Novokshonov, 1996 from Karatau (Kazakhstan); and O. maculosus Liu, Shih, Bashkuev & Ren, 2016 from the Jiulongshan Formation of Daohugou (China). The fifth congeneric and second species from China, O. suni sp. nov., is described herein. The importance of the genus Orthobittacus for the phylogeny of Bittacidae, as the most plesiomorphic genus, is discussed.
