A new hemeroscopid dragonfly, Parahemeroscopus jiuquanensis gen. et sp. nov., is described from the Lower Cretaceous Zhonggou Formation of the Jiuquan Basin, northwestern China. Parahemeroscopus gen. nov. has the mixed characters of the hemeroscopid genera Hemeroscopus Pritykina, 1977 and Abrohemeroscopus Ren, Liu & Cheng, 2003, and probably represents a transitional dragonfly from Abrohemeroscopus to Hemeroscopus. The new finding not only adds to the diversity of the Hemeroscopidae Pritykina, 1977, but also provides clues for revealing the early evolution of the hemeroscopid dragonflies.
中国西北部酒泉盆地早白垩世中沟组发现了一种新的日射蜓科蜻蜓，即酒泉副日射蜓（Parahemeroscopus jiuquanensis gen. et sp. nov.）。新属酒泉副日射蜓具有1977年的日射蜓属（Hemeroscopus Pritykina）和2003年的异日射蜓属（Abrohemeroscopus Ren, Liu & Cheng）的混合特征，可能代表了从异日射蜓到日射蜓的过渡蜻蜓。这一新发现不仅增加了1977年日射蜓科（Hemeroscopidae Pritykina）的多样性，也为揭示日射蜓科蜻蜓的早期演化提供了线索。
