Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>Material belonging to a new fossil genus and species of caddisfly, <italic>Pulchercylindratus punctatus</italic> n. gen., n. sp., was collected from the Daohugou locality (Middle Jurassic, Jiulongshan Formation; Inner Mongolia, China). The new species is assigned to the Hydrobiosidae according to subcylindrical shape of the 2nd segment of maxillary palp, the forked R₁ (in the forewing, located near apex), and long anal cells (in the forewing). In addition, we propose to transfer the genus <italic>Juraphilopotamus</italic> Wang, Zhao &amp; Ren 2009, known from the same locality, to the family Hydrobiosidae, based on the 1st and 2nd segments of the maxillary palp being cylindrical, shorter than the 3rd segment. A Middle Jurassic origination of family Hydrobiosidae can be established based on the new discovery. (© 2013 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH &amp; Co. KGaA, Weinheim)</p> </abstract>
