Abstract Yang X.G., Shih C.K., Ren D. & PetruleviČius, J.F., June 2012. New Middle Jurassic hangingflies (Insecta: Mecoptera) from Inner Mongolia, China. Alcheringa, 195–201. ISSN 0311-5518. A new genus with a new species of Cimbrophlebiidae, Perfecticimbrophlebia laetus Yang, Shih & Ren gen. et sp. nov., and a new species of Bittacidae, Preanabittacus validus Yang, Shih & Ren sp. nov., are described and illustrated. Both specimens derive from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation at Daohugou in Inner Mongolia, China. Based on characters of Preanabittacus validus Yang, Shih & Ren sp. nov., the diagnosis of Preanabittacus is emended.
