Orthoptera Prophalangopsidae new species Middle Jurassic Daohugou China

Abstract

Two new species attributed to the genus Sigmaboilus Fang, Zhang & Wang, 2007 are described from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Daohugou Village, Inner Mongolia, China: Sigmaboilus fuscus sp. nov., S. peregrinus sp. nov. The diagnosis of the genus is revised.
