Discovery of Hemeroscopus baissicus (Odonata, Anisoptera, Hemeroscopidae) from the Lower Cretaceous Naijiahe Formation (Ningxia, NW China) and its stratigraphic significance
Several newly collected dragonfly wings from the Lower Cretaceous Naijiahe Formation (Kangjiawan locality, Tongxin County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, NW China) have been identified as belonging to the widely distributed species Hemeroscopus baissicus, found in North China and South Korea at similar palaeolatitudes. This species shows potential for stratigraphic correlation. The findings suggest that the Shahai-Fuxin Formation (western Liaoning), Lushangfen-Xiazhuang Formation (western Beijing), Madongshan-Naijiahe Formation (Ningxia), and Zhonggou Formation (Jiuquan Basin) are likely of comparable ages.
