A new extinct family of Pentatomoidea, Primipentatomidae fam. nov., with four new genera and five new species (Primipentatoma peregrina gen. et sp. nov., Primipentatoma fangi gen. et sp. nov., Breviscutum lunatum gen. et sp. nov., Oropentatoma epichara gen. et sp. nov. and Quadrocoris radius gen. et sp. nov.), is described from the Upper Mesozoic deposits of north-eastern China. A cladistic analysis based on a combination of fossil and extant morphological characters clarifies the phylogenetic…

Phylogeny of Evanioidea (Hymenoptera, Apocrita), with descriptions of new Mesozoic species from China and Myanmar

This study documents the diversification of one major lineage of the mid‐Mesozoic parasitoid revolution that dramatically changed food‐web relationships in terrestrial ecosystems.

Bizarre morphology in extinct Eocene bugs (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)

Phylogenetic analyses using parsimony as well as Bayesian algorithms confirmed that the new genus from the Eocene of Messel and Green River is a member of Pentatomidae, but could not solve its phylogenetic relationships within Pentatomids.

New fossil flower bugs (Heteroptera: Cimicomorpha: Cimicoidea: Vetanthocoridae) with uniquely long ovipositor from the Yixian Formation (Lower Cretaceous), China

New protodiplatyids (Insecta: Dermaptera) from the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation of northeastern China

Revision of the Genus Rudisiricius (Hymenoptera, Praesiricidae) with six new species from Jehol Biota, China

Higher‐level phylogeny and evolutionary history of Pentatomomorpha (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) inferred from mitochondrial genome sequences

There was a transition from trnT/trnP to trnP/ TrnT in the common ancestor of Pyrrhocoroidea, which indicates that this gene rearrangement could be an autapomorphy for Pyrrhomorpha.

New short-horned flies (Diptera: Eremochaetidae) from the Early Cretaceous of China.

Eremochaetidae is a rare family found from the Late Jurassic to the Early Cretaceous. So far, only 8 genera with 12 species have been recorded. Herein, we describe a new species, Dissup clausus sp.…

Phylogenetic relationships of family groups in Pentatomoidea based on morphology and DNA sequences (Insecta: Heteroptera)

The monophyly of the Pentatomidae appears unequivocal, inclusive of the Aphylinae and Cyrtocorinae, on the basis of morphology, the latter two taxa not being represented in the molecular data set.

A PRELIMINARY STUDY ON THE PHYLOGENY OF RHOPALIDAE (HEMIPTERA:COREOIDEA)

The present paper presents the results of a comparative morphological study of 14 representative genera of Anopalidae and attempts to interpret the phylogenetic relationships among the subgroups of…

The first fossil Cydnidae (Hemiptera: Pentatomoidea) from the Late Mesozoic of China

Two new genera and two new species of fossil amnestine burrower bugs are described and illustrated, representing the first record of fossil cydnids from China.

New Genus and Species of Fossil Dragonflies (Insecta: Odonata) from the Yixian Formation of Northeastern China

Abstract  Two well‐preserved fossil dragonflies from the Late Mesozoic Yixian Formation, Liaoning Province, China are described and assigned to a new genus, Sopholibellula gen. nov. in…

New records of insect families from the freshwater Middle Eocene of British Columbia

The composition of fauna within British Columbia suggests age or environmental differences between the Horsefly and Princeton area localities, with the Driftwood Creek locality intermediate.

In 1928, Ping described the first Chinese fossil true bug, Mesolygaeus laiyangensis, an Early Cretaceous bug collected from non-marine sedimentary rocks of Laiyang Formation, Shandong Province. After…

A Probable Pollination Mode Before Angiosperms: Eurasian, Long-Proboscid Scorpionflies

The presence of scorpionfly taxa suggests that siphonate proboscides fed on gymnosperm pollination drops and likely engaged in pollination mutualisms with gymnosperms during the mid-Mesozoic, long before the similar and independent coevolution of nectar-feeding flies, moths, and beetles on angiosperms.

Discovery of hemeroscopid dragonfly from Jiufotang Formation in western Liaoning and its geological implications

A new hemeroscopid dragonfly fossil found from the upper part of the Jiufotang Formation, Liaoning Province,northeastern China, is similar to the Hemeroscopus baissicus Pritykina, 1977, and more primitive phylogenetically than H. baISSicus.

Classification of the Terrestrial Heteroptera (Geocorisae)

FOLLOWING Dufour1, the Heteroptera can be divided into three series: Geocorisae (land bugs), Hydrocorisae (water bugs) and Amphibicorisae (watersurface bugs). Reuter2 divided the Heteroptera into…

Cretaceous age for the feathered dinosaurs of Liaoning, China

The results of this dating study indicate that the lower Yixian fossil horizons are not Jurassic but rather are at least 20 Myr younger, placing them within middle Early Cretaceous time.
