Abstract

Mesopsyche Tillyard, 1917 is an extinct genus of Mecoptera belonging to the long-proboscid-bearing Mesopsychidae, an adaptation probably associated with pollination of Mesozoic gymnosperms. Here, we describe two new species, Mesopsyche jinsuoguanensis sp. nov., from the Middle Triassic Tongchuan Formation in Shaanxi Province, and Mesopsyche liaoi sp. nov., from the Upper Triassic Huangshanjie Formation in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China. The new discoveries highlight the diversity of the Mesopsyche in the region during the Mesozoic.

摘要

Mesopsyche Tillyard，1917 是已灭绝的长喙缨翅目昆虫属，属于长喙缨翅目 Mesopsychidae，这种适应可能与中生代裸子植物的授粉有关。本文描述了产自中国陕西省中三叠统铜川组的两个新种，金粟关缨翅 Mesopsyche jinsuoguanensis sp. nov.，以及产自中国新疆维吾尔自治区上三叠统黄山街组的 Liaoi 缨翅 Mesopsyche liaoi sp. nov.。这些新发现突显了该地区中生代 Mesopsyche 的多样性。
