Abstract:
A new extinct procercopid (Hemiptera) genus and species, Magnicercopis pingi Zhang, Chen et Zhang, gen. et sp. nov., is established based on a tegmen specimen collected from the Lower Jurassic Sangonghe Formation near Urumqi, northern Xinjiang, NW China. The new genus is unique in having three MP terminals, the presence of crossvein im, and forking level of MP basal to that of CuA. A detailed comparison of venation is made between this new taxon and other Jurassic procercopids from China, especially its closest relative, Longucercopis xinjiangensis Zhang, Chen et Zhang, 2022. This finding not only increases the diversity of the Procercopidae but also provides some tegmen information for this family.
