Praearchitipula notabilis Kalugina, 1985

(Fig. 1 A)

Syn. nov.: Praearchitipula lata Kalugina, 1985: 59, fig. 24.

Remarks. The species P. notabilis (Fig. 1 A) differs from P. trinervis Kalugina, 1985 (Fig. 1 C) mainly by proportion of medial veins. In P. notabilis, the vein M 1 + 2 is 2.5 times as long as M 1 (vs. 1 / 2 for P. trinervis) and dcell is about 1 / 7 of the length of wing (vs. about 1 / 8 for P. trinervis). Both species were described from Kubekovo (Russia)—Middle Jurassic.

Praearchitipula lata Kalugina, 1985 (Fig. 1 B), known also from Kubekovo, has been described based on a partially preserved wing. Comparing Figs. 1 A and 1 B, we cannot identify significant venational differences between these two fossils. Hence, we suggest treating P. lata as a junior synonym of P. notabilis.
