Praearchitipula notabilis Kalugina 1985, syn. nov.
Description
Praearchitipula notabilis Kalugina, 1985
(Fig. 1 A)
Syn. nov.: Praearchitipula lata Kalugina, 1985: 59, fig. 24.
proportion of medial veins. In P. notabilis, the vein M1+2 is 2.5 times as long as M1 (vs. 1/2 for P. trinervis) and dcell is about 1/7 of the length of wing (vs. about 1/8 for P. trinervis). Both species were described from Kubekovo (Russia)—Middle Jurassic.
Praearchitipula lata Kalugina, 1985 (Fig. 1 B), known also from Kubekovo, has been described based on a partially preserved wing. Comparing Figs. 1 A and 1B, we cannot identify significant venational differences between these two fossils. Hence, we suggest treating P. lata as a junior synonym of P. notabilis.
