The Middle-Late Jurassic Yanliao biota is a significant paleoecosystem for the understanding of the evolution of Life during the Mesozoic. The origin, distribution, and geology of the Yanliao biota are poorly understood to date. Here we describe and illustrate two new species of protopsyllidiids, namely Sinopsocus yananensis sp. nov. and Subaphidulum sinica sp. nov. from the Middle Jurassic Yan’an Formation near Yan’an City, Shaanxi Province, North China. S. yananensis sp. nov. closely resembles the type species Sinopsocus oligovenus from the Haifanggou Formation at Beipiao City, West Liaoning, Northeast China. The new discoveries not only increase the diversity of Mesozoic protopsyllidiids but also provide thread for understanding the origin of the Yanliao biota.

The Fur Formation, located in the western Limfjord region of northern Jutland, Denmark, is famous for its numerous and often exceptionally well-preserved marine and terrestrial fossils (e.g., Bonde et al., 2008). The geological background of the Konservat-Lagerstätte was described by Pedersen & Surlyk (1983). The formation preserves a rich record of earliest Ypresian (Eocene, ca. 55 Ma) fossil insects (e.g., Madsen & Rasmussen, 2021). The fauna includes many hemipterans mostly representing Heteroptera and Sternorrhyncha but the diverse modern family Cicadellidae (leafhoppers) is represented by a single specimen among the >20,000 available insect fossils discovered so far.
Fur组位于丹麦日德兰半岛北部的Limfjord西部地区,以其数量众多且通常保存完好的海洋和陆地化石而闻名(例如,Bonde et al., 2008)。Konservat-Lagerstätte的地质背景由Pedersen &Surlyk(1983)。该地层保存了丰富的最早伊波斯(始新世,约55 Ma)昆虫化石记录(如Madsen &拉斯穆森,2021)。动物群包括许多半翅目动物,主要代表异翅目和叶蝉目,但多种多样的现代蝉科(叶蝉)只代表了迄今为止发现的20,000个现有昆虫化石中的一个标本。

The order Mecoptera, commonly known as scorpionflies, has a long and fascinating evolutionary history that spans over 270 million years, if we consider its stem group. Despite their well-documented fossil record during the Mesozoic, many aspects of their diversity and evolution remain poorly understood. In this study, we increase the fossil record of Mecoptera by describing a new taxon from the Paleocene Paskapoo Formation (Alberta, Canada). This specimen is described as Bittacus? paskapooensis sp. nov. (Raptipedia: Bittacidae) but is assigned with caution to Bittacus due to the lack of apomorphic wing venation characters for this genus.

Exquisitely preserved fossils from the Middle Jurassic Haifanggou Formation (the Daohugou beds; ~165 Ma) and mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber (~99 Ma) are studied to clarify the external morphology of Notocupes. Three new species from Daohugou are described as N. spinosus sp. nov., N. robustus sp. nov., and N. daohugouensis sp. nov. Our examination of specimens from Burmese amber does not support the division of Notocupes into Notocupes s.s. and Echinocups. Therefore we treat Echinocups syn. nov. as a junior synonym of Notocupes, and N. ohmkuhnlei comb. rev., N. neli comb. rev. and N. denticollis comb. rev. are returned to Notocupes from Echinocups.

Amber, dubbed by Ross (1998, 2010) as a “natural time capsule”, is a fossil resin renowned for its remarkable preservation fidelity of biological inclusions. Its unique property to capture organisms in pristine condition has offered scientists the opportunity to access to some minute details permitting as such to better evaluate the evolutionary stages of different animal and vegetal groups, and to open a portal to past environments and ecological dynamics of early periods in the natural history of the Earth (Azar et al., 2010).

A new species of the extinct genus Eocenostenus Cai, Clarke, Huang & Nel, 2014, is described from the middle Paleocene (Selandian) of Menat (France). Eocenostenus vanja sp. nov. is the second known species of the genus, the first being Eocenostenus fossilis Cai et al., 2014 described from the late Eocene (Priabonian) of Monteils, France. The discovery of E. vanja has implications for our understanding of the evolution of Eocenostenus because it pushes back the origin of the genus by several tens of millions of years (i.e., from the Priabonian to the Selandian). Additionally, it possibly sheds light on the cuticular colouration of this genus, which is putatively similar to some extant Steninae, particularly those from the tropical regions of the world. An updated checklist of fossil Steninae is provided.

The Eocene Green River Formation in the USA is well known as a Konservat-Lagerstätte, and has yielded an enormous number of beautifully preserved fossil insects from the Parachute Creek Member of Lake Uinta in Colorado and Utah, USA (Grande, 1984) where insects dominate the fauna. In Fossil Lake deposits, fish dominate the fauna with insects a minor component. This formation spans a 5-myr-long period between ca. 53.5 and 48.5 Ma (Smith et al., 2003) in three distinct basins containing lacustrine sediments. Many of these fossils are in an exquisite state of preservation, occasionally even with soft tissues and colour patterns preserved (e.g., Bechly et al., 2020). As this entomofauna is one of the most diverse for the Early Eocene, increasing its knowledge is crucial for the understanding of the evolution of the insects at that time. This is especially the case for the Odonata, a clade that remains poorly known for the Paleocene and early Eocene (Nel & Jouault, 2022). Bechly et al. (2020) provided a first revision of the damselflies from the Green River Formation, but continuing excavation produces new specimens. The specimen described herein was recently discovered while excavating fossil fish in the Fossil Lake deposits of the Green River Formation in southwest Wyoming. This new species of Zygoptera from the Fossil Lake deposits further demonstrates its impressive diversity of Odonata.

Cretaceous amber plays a crucial role in comprehending the origin and early evolution of terrestrial life, as well as understanding paleoclimate and paleoecology during the Late Mesozoic, especially the Cretaceous Terrestrial Revolution. Amber outcrops from the Cretaceous period are to date more abundant in the Northern Hemisphere than in the Southern one and are primarily distributed within an interval of approximately 54 million years, spanning from the Barremian to the Campanian (Delclòs et al., 2023). These outcrops are known for containing amber exceptionally rich in bioinclusions, as seen in locations such as Kachin in Myanmar (Grimaldi et al., 2002) and Lebanon (Maksoud et al., 2022).
白垩纪琥珀对了解陆生生物的起源和早期演化,以及了解晚中生代,特别是白垩纪陆生革命时期的古气候和古生态具有重要意义。迄今为止,白垩纪的琥珀露头在北半球比在南半球更为丰富,并且主要分布在大约5400万年的间隔内,从巴雷米亚到坎帕尼亚(Delclòs et al., 2023)。这些露头以含有异常丰富的生物包裹体的琥珀而闻名,如在缅甸的克钦(Grimaldi等人,2002年)和黎巴嫩(Maksoud等人,2022年)。

Prompted by a rapid development in the field of palaeoentomology, fossil terrestrial arthropods and amber research, Palaeoentomology was established in late 2018 through a collaborative effort between the International Palaeoentomological Society (IPS) and Magnolia Press (Azar et al., 2018). The inception of this scientific journal was met with enthusiastic reception from the palaeoentomological and amber community, and it achieved a consistent and robust growth throughout its initial five-year period (2018–2022). A significant milestone was attained in November 2022, as Palaeoentomology was granted acceptance into the Emerging Sources Citation Index™ (ESCI) within the esteemed Web of Science Core Collection™, a recognition indicative of its emerging influence. All papers published between 2018 and 2022 within Palaeoentomology were incorporated into the ESCI in January 2023, solidifying the journal’s presence and visibility within the scholarly landscape. More recently, according to June 2023 release of Journal Citation Reports, the 2022 journal impact factor of Palaeoentomology is 2.3, which is slightly higher than 2.2 estimated by Zhang (2023). Boasting a substantial impact factor, Palaeoentomology secures an impressive 20th position among 108 peers in the field of PALEONTOLOGY (Q1) and 8th position out of 57 in ENTOMOLOGY (Q1), further accentuating its influential stature (Clarivate Analytics, 2023). In order to continue fostering the rapid advancement of the journal, we are now implementing updates to the manuscript format of new submissions. A brief description of each article type is provided below.
在古昆虫学、陆生节肢动物化石和琥珀研究领域快速发展的推动下,国际古昆虫学会(IPS)和Magnolia出版社于2018年底合作成立了古昆虫学(Azar et al., 2018)。该科学期刊的创刊受到了古昆虫学和琥珀学界的热烈欢迎,并在最初的五年(2018-2022年)实现了持续而强劲的增长。2022年11月,古昆虫学取得了一个重要的里程碑,被认可为受人尊敬的Web of Science Core Collection™中的新兴资源引文索引™(ESCI),这表明了其新兴的影响力。2023年1月,《古昆虫学》期刊2018年至2022年间发表的所有论文都被纳入ESCI,巩固了该期刊在学术领域的存在和知名度。最近,根据2023年6月发布的Journal Citation Reports,《古生物学》2022年期刊影响因子为2.3,略高于Zhang(2023)估计的2.2。凭借可观的影响因子,《古昆虫学》在古生物学(Q1)领域的108个同行中排名第20位,在昆虫学(Q1)的57个同行中排名第8位,进一步增强了其影响力(Clarivate Analytics, 2023)。为了继续促进期刊的快速发展,我们现在正在对新投稿的稿件格式进行更新。下面提供了每种文章类型的简要说明。
