Colorifuzia Wei & Liang & Ren 2013, n. gen.
No full textGenus Colorifuzia n. gen. TYPE SPECIES. — Colorifuzia agenora n. gen., n. sp. SPECIES INCLUDED. — Type species only. ETYMOLOGY. — Colorifuzia is a combination of the Latin “ color ”, referring to its forewing’s unique coloration markings, and the type genus name “ Fuzia ”; gender feminine. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS. — The new genus differs from Fuzia and Parvifuzia in having relatively larger body size, coloration markings located in the area of R and M of forewing, and forewing venation rich and comparatively wide. The new genus can be attributed within Fuziidae based on the following characters: male body elongated (Fig. 2B), male cerci with forceps (Fig. 2C); forewing costal area long, CuA expanded.Published as part of Wei, Dandan, Liang, Junhui & Ren, Dong, 2013, A new fossil genus of Fuziidae (Insecta, Blattida) from the Middle Jurassic of Jiulongshan Formation, China, pp. 335-343 in Geodiversitas 35 (2) on page 336, DOI: 10.5252/g2013n2a3, http://zenodo.org/record/537440
Arcofuzia Wei, Shih et Ren, gen. nov.
No full textGenus Arcofuzia Wei, Shih et Ren gen. nov. Type species: Arcofuzia cana Wei, Shih et Ren sp. nov. Differential diagnosis: Forewing extremely wide, Sc thick and without branches, with many small crossveinlike reticulations that are more distinct than in Fuzia; wing venation rich (43 to 54 veins at margin), more than average venation in Fuzia; intercalary veins thick, distinct all over wing surface; anal field with distinct diagonal kink; with distinctly cambered markings located near the apex of forewings from anterior of R to the anterior of CuA, forming a crescent. Etymology: Arcofuzia is a combination of arco- (Latin for cambered), referring to its cambered markings near the apex of forewings, and the type genus name ‘ Fuzia ’; gender feminine. Remarks: The new genus differs from Parvifuzia Guo & Ren, 2011 in having larger body size and rich forewing venation. The new genus can be distinguished from Fuzia Vršanský, Liang & Ren, 2009 by forewing markings, thick Sc, many small but very distinct crossvein-like reticulations, and diagonal kink in the anal field. The new genus is similar to Colorifuzia Wei, Liang & Ren (in press) in body size, rich forewing venation and forewing markings, but differs mainly by the shape of the markings, the anal field diagonal kink, presence of numerous small crossvein-like reticulations and thick, unbranched forewing Sc.Published as part of Wei, Dandan, Shih, Chungkun & Ren, Dong, 2012, Arcofuzia cana gen. et sp. n.

Fortiblatta Liang, Vrsansky et Ren, gen. nov.
No full textGenus Fortiblatta Liang, Vršanský et Ren, gen. nov. Type species. Fortiblatta cuspicolor Liang, Vršanský et Ren sp. nov. described below. Composition. Monotypic. Derivation of name: Fortiblatta is a combination of fortis (Latin for strong), alluding to the heavily sclerotised cuticle and generally large body size, and the genus name Blatta. Differential diagnosis. The new genus can be categorized within Raphidiomimidae based on the prognathous head unconcealed by pronotum, free forelegs, and narrow forewing costal field. The new genus differs from Raphidiomima and Cameloblatta (Vishniakova 1973) in having wide and colored base of head (Figs. 2 a, 5 b); distinctive eyes located basally; less numerous leg spines; the proportion of femur and tibia of foreleg under 1; somewhat sclerotized and intensively colored wings and pronotum; CuP on hind wing without branches (R. chimaera and C. variegata have terminally branched CuP – Vishniakova 1971, figs. 4,10, pp.69, 75); the last three segments of cerci longest and thinnest among all segments; and internalized outer ovipositor valves. The new genus can be distinguished from Liadoblattina Handlirsch, 1906 (see Vršanský and Ansorge 2007) by larger body; forewing Sc richly branched (Fig. 3 a); hind wing M poorly branched; and reticulations present in CuA-CuP area. Description. Large Species (forewing length/width: 21.1 –26.0mm/ 6.5 –8.0mm; hind wing length/width: 21.0–24.0mm/7.0– 8.3mm; head length/width: 3–4.6mm / 2–2.5mm; pronotum length/width: 5–6.2mm / 4.5mm – 5.8mm), with body strongly sclerotised. Head base wide and coloured, eyes located basally, partially covered by pronotum; ocelli invisible. Pronotum vaulted, slightly elongate with dark coloration at center and at margins. Veins dark, intercalaries and cross-veins distinct. Forewing with expanded venation. Area between anterior wing margin and Sc very long and narrow, Sc branched; R with undifferentiated Rs, does not reach apex; CuP slightly curved. Anal veins with tertiary branches, the base of anal region colored. Diagonal fold present. Hind wing with simple Sc; R differentiated into R 1 and well-developed Rs; M reduced to few, usually 2 branches. CuA basal most branches strong, CuP simple, straight; anal lobe with fan-like pleating, A 1 simple. Reticulations present in CuA-CuP space, joined with intercalaries. Body wide. Abdominal segments long, with parallel margins. Cerci multi-segmented, the last three segments longest. Ovipositor outer valves internalized. Remarks. The new genus retains plesiomorphies, such as branched forewing Sc; R not reaching apex of margin, branched anal veins, and the proportion of femur and tibia of foreleg under 1. Head with round big eyes located basally, partially covered by pronotum, is also plesiomorphic in respect to Raphidiomima and Cameloblatta. The anal veins of Raphidiomimidae with tertiary branches and branching of the uppermost vein are symplesiomorphic with the Caloblattinidae Vršanský et Ansorge in Vršanský 2000, but also with the Juramantidae Vršanský, 2002 and Liberiblattinidae Vršanský, 2002 (Vršanský, 2002).Published as part of Ren, Jun-Hui Liang Peter Vršansk Ÿ Dong & Shih, Chungkun, 2009, A new Jurassic carnivorous cockroach (Insecta, Blattaria, Raphidiomimidae) from the Inner Mongolia in China, pp. 17-30 in Zootaxa 1974 on pages 18-19, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18509
