Abstract

The dipteran nematoceran Tricoceridae ?Mailotrichocera jiyuanensis sp. nov. is illustrated and described from the Middle Jurassic of Jiyuan Basin, China, based on a well-preserved wing. This small trichocerid constitutes the second representative of this family to be discovered from the same locality of Jiyuan Basin.
