Abstract

Yumenia Hong, 1982 preoccupied by Yumenia Hou, 1958, is replaced with Gansucossus (Hemiptera, Palaeontinidae). The diagnostic characters for Gansucossus are presented and synonymies for Gansucossus pectinatus (Hong, 1982) and Gansucossus luanpingensis (Hong, 1983) are established. The diagnostic characters for G. pectinatus and G. luanpingensis are revised. A new species, Gansucossus typicus sp. nov., is described from the Middle Jurassic of Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China. The new genus Daohugoucossus gen. nov. and new species Daohugoucossus solutus sp. nov., are erected based on a hind wing from the Middle Jurassic of Daohugou.
