Abstract

Proraphidia anisomorpha sp. nov., a new species of snakefly (Insecta: Raphidioptera: Mesoraphidiidae), is described from the Lower Cretaceous Laiyang Formation, Shandong, China. This is the first discovery of Proraphidia from the Laiyang Formation, thus extending the geographical range of this genus. P. anisomorpha sp. nov. is different from other species of Proraphidia according to its unique branching structure and small wing size. The palaeogeographic distribution of Proraphidia is also summarized.

期刊介绍： Cretaceous Research provides a forum for the rapid publication of research on all aspects of the Cretaceous Period, including its boundaries with the Jurassic and Palaeogene. Authoritative papers reporting detailed investigations of Cretaceous stratigraphy and palaeontology, studies of regional geology, and reviews of recently published books are complemented by short communications of significant new findings. Papers submitted to Cretaceous Research should place the research in a broad context, with emphasis placed towards our better understanding of the Cretaceous, that are therefore of interest to the diverse, international readership of the journal. Full length papers that focus solely on a local theme or area will not be accepted for publication; authors of short communications are encouraged to discuss how their findings are of relevance to the Cretaceous on a broad scale. Research Areas include: • Regional geology • Stratigraphy and palaeontology • Palaeobiology • Palaeobiogeography • Palaeoceanography • Palaeoclimatology • Evolutionary Palaeoecology • Geochronology • Global events.
