Abstract
New species of Jurassic Protorhyphidae: Protorhyphus lukashevichae sp. nov., Protorhyphus jurassicus sp. nov., and Anisopodidae: Mesorhyphus blagoderovi sp. nov. from Daohugou, China, are described and illustrated. Phylogenetic relationships and evolution within the Anisopodoidea are analyzed and discussed. The oldest Anisopodoidea appeared in the Triassic and fossil record indicate that they were most numerous in Jurassic and in the Cretaceous.
