The first Chinese Protohymenidae (Palaeoptera: Megasecoptera)
Abstract
Anhuihymen medianelongata Huang and Nel, gen. nov. et sp. nov., first accurate Chinese Protohymenidae, is described from the Middle Permian Yinping Formation at Chaohu, Anhui Province, Southern China. This region was under a warm and humid climate and separated from the drier Laurussia by the paleo-Thetys ocean during the Middle Permian. This discovery shows that this group was probably very widely distributed during the Permian, and adapted to very different climates and biotas. It also confirms that our current knowledge on the Permian fossil insects is very fragmentary.
