Praearchitipula abnormis Hao & Ren 2009
Description
Praearchitipula abnormis (Hao & Ren, 2009) —comb. nov.
(Fig.2)
Architipula abnormis Hao & Ren, 2009: 172, figs 1–9.
Remarks. Architipula abnormis Hao & Ren, 2009 from the late Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Daohugou (China) was previously regarded as a member of the Limoniidae. After re-examining the holotype of A. abnormis, we found that the cross-vein sc-r was omitted in the original description (Fig. 2). It has a presectoral position and we propose to transfer this species from Limoniidae to Pediciidae.
This species corresponds mostly to the generic characters of Praearchitipula Kalugina, 1985, such as Rs bifurcating into a long R2+3 and a short R4+5; cross-vein r-m between R5 and M1+2. It differs from other species of Praearchitipula in the shorter length of d-cell, which is about 1/13 the length of wing.
