Jurataenionema Liu and Ren
Genus Jurataenionema Liu and Ren, gen. nov. Type species. Jurataenionema inornatus Liu and Ren, sp. nov. Etymology. The generic name is taken from the combination of Jura and T aenionema (a genus of Taeniopterygidae) Species included. The type species J. inornatus Liu and Ren, sp. nov. and J. stigmaeus Liu and Ren, sp. nov. Diagnosis. Wings are macropterous, translucent. No additional veinlets on the costal area, c–r present or very faint, sometimes grey pterostigma presents in the terminal space of forewings; Rs with three branches, M and CuA with two long branches, and fork at level of midlength of Rs stem; 5–8 crossveins in the median and cubital areas. Ninth sternite produced, with a median tongue–like erect and then bent forward extension tapering to around or cuspidal tip, tenth tergite transversely wide, sclerotized. Cerci short, eight to ten segments. Remarks. The new genus Jurataenionema differs from the extant genera by the longer cerci and long branches of CuA; differs from the extinct Gurvanopteryx by Rs with three branches and the longer first segment of hind tarsus; differs from the extinct Positopteryx by c–r present, Rs with three branches.Published as part of Liu, Yushuang, Sinitshenkova, Dong Ren Nina D. & Shih, Chung Kun, 2007, The oldest known record of Taeniopterygidae in the Middle Jurassic of Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China (Insecta: Plecoptera), pp. 1-8 in Zootaxa 1521 on page 2, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17745

Jurataenionema stigmaeus Liu and Ren, sp. nov.
Jurataenionema stigmaeus Liu and Ren, sp. nov. Figs. 3–5 Etymology. From Latin stigmaeus, refers to the presence of a fuscous stigma in the terminal space of forewings. Materials. Holotype, female. CNU, NMDHG 183, a well–preserved body with part of wings, and paratypes (Imagoes) from the same locality: CNU, NMDHG 99, and CNU, NMDHG 184–187. Description. Length of body 14 mm, to tip of wings 18 mm. Head large, triangular, the posterior part not twice as wide as the anterior; antennae long. Prothorax narrow, two–thirds of the mesothorax; mesothorax and metathorax developed, same width. Legs robust. Forewings 15 mm length. Sc connected to R at almost two–thirds total wing length; c–r far from the Sc tip, grey pterostigma present; Rs forks distinctly after the r–rs, and its anterior branch forks again close to the Rs forks. Crossvein r–rs short, almost perpendicular to Rs. M appears 2 –branched, forking from the proximal 1 / 3 of the wing, its branches are nearly twice as long as Rs branches, rs–m straight, connects Rs before r–rs and terminates at the one fifth of MA. Crossvein m–cua S–shaped, connecting M stem or MP, and terminated the stem of CuA. CuA forks close to M forks, with long anterior branch. 4 crossveins at the median area, 7 crossveins at the cubital areas. Abdomen with 10 visible segments, almost 1.7 times as long as thorax. Ninth sternite produced as a subgenital plate, the median tongue upturned, triangular. Cerci short, eight or nine segments. Remarks. The new species J. stigmaeus differs from the type species by the defined pterostigma.Published as part of Liu, Yushuang, Sinitshenkova, Dong Ren Nina D. & Shih, Chung Kun, 2007, The oldest known record of Taeniopterygidae in the Middle Jurassic of Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China (Insecta: Plecoptera), pp. 1-8 in Zootaxa 1521 on pages 3-4, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17745
Protaenionema Liu and Shih
Genus Protaenionema Liu and Shih, gen. nov. Type species. Protaenionema fuscalatus Liu and Shih, sp. nov. Etymology. Named from a combination of the prefix pro- and Taenionema. Species included. Only the type species P. fuscalatus Liu and Shih, sp. nov. Diagnosis. Wings of normal length, brown. Lack of additional veinlets on the costal area, crossvein c–r absent; Rs and M both with two branches. Ninth sternite produced, distinctly exceeds the tenth segment, not upturned, and the distal margin rounded, tenth tergite transversely wide, sclerotized. Cerci short, multisegmented. Remarks. In the extant genera, c–r is generally present, absent only in Brachyptera and in the glacialis and contorta group of Oemopteryx (Ricker & Ross 1975). Crossvein c–r is absent in this new genus Protaenionema. It is difficult to distinguish this new genus and extant genus Brachyptera and the glacialis and contorta group of Oemopteryx according to the preserved characters of Protaenionema. Brachyptera has developed extra branches (three to five branches) of CuA and cerci with one or two segments, but these important characters are not preserved clearly in Protaenionema; similarly, the typical features (two prongs) of epiproct of Oemopteryx cannot be observed in Protaenionema. The new extinct genus Protaenionema differs from the extinct Gurvanopteryx and Positopteryx by the opaque, slightly brown wings and by the distinctly produced ninth sternite. It differs from the new Jurataenionema by having an Rs with two branches and the fuscous wings.Published as part of Liu, Yushuang, Sinitshenkova, Dong Ren Nina D. & Shih, Chung Kun, 2007, The oldest known record of Taeniopterygidae in the Middle Jurassic of Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China (Insecta: Plecoptera), pp. 1-8 in Zootaxa 1521 on pages 4-5, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17745

Crossvein m–cua S–shaped, connecting M at the same level of M forks, and terminated the stem of CuA. Vein CuA forks basal to M forks, its anterior branch long, almost twice as long as the posterior branch, 5–8 crossveins at the median and cubital areas. Abdomen with 10 visible segments, slightly longer than head and thorax together. Ninth sternite produced, the median tongue upturned, narrowly round, tenth tergite transversely wide, sclerotized. Cerci short, its segments faint, about 8–10 segments. Legs long, coxa and trochanter wide, femur robust, nearly twice as wide as tibia, tibia slender, about 1.3X as long as femur, tarsus long, half a length of tibia, three segments are of almost the same length. Remarks. The new species J. inornatus resembles extant Mesyatsia thianshanica (Zhiltzova 1972) in venation, except Rs has three branches and there is no costal crossvein. In addition, no pterostigma exists, while it is present in M. thianshanica.Published as part of Liu, Yushuang, Sinitshenkova, Dong Ren Nina D. & Shih, Chung Kun, 2007, The oldest known record of Taeniopterygidae in the Middle Jurassic of Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China (Insecta: Plecoptera), pp. 1-8 in Zootaxa 1521 on pages 2-3, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17745

Holotype male, CHINA: Guizhou Province, Kuankuoshui Nature Reserve, 12.viii. 2010, Luxi Liu (CAU). Paratype, CHINA: 1 male, same as holotype. Distribution. China (Guizhou). Etymology. The species name refers to the obvious dark coloration of the specimens. Remarks. The fore wing of the new species is most similar to Sigmatoneura kolbei described from Japan (Enderlein, 1906). Tsutsumi (1965) provided genitalia characters of S. kolbei from Taiwan, and the phallosome of S. aquilis is narrower distally and lacks lateral apophyses. Sclerotization regions in the epiproct and hypandrium are also different between the two species.Published as part of Liu, Luxi, Li, Fasheng & Liu, Zhiqi, 2011, The genus Sigmatoneura Enderlein (Psocoptera: Psocidae), with two new species from China, pp. 33-41 in Zootaxa 2999 on pages 38-39, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20307
