Fujianella paradoxa Hakim & Huang, 2024, sp. nov.

Fujianella paradoxa sp. nov. (Figs 1, 2) Type material. Holotype, NIGP206134 (with part and counterpart), nearly complete forewing missing upper distal section. Type locality and horizon. Near Jishan Village, Yong’an City, Fujian Province, SE China; Early Cretaceous (Aptian–Albian). Etymology. The specific epithet is named after the term ‘paradox’, due to the combination of inconsistent forewing features from both Protopsyllioidea and Psylloidea; gender feminine. Diagnosis. As for genus. Description. Forewing elongate, about 5.90 mm long, reaching maximum width at 2/3 of wing length, about 2.31 mm wide at maximum width, ratio length/width = 2.55. Common stem R+M+CuA forking near wing base, at 1.19 mm from wing base (at 20% of total wing length). Common stem R short, about 0.95 mm long; fork RA and RP at 2.14 mm from wing base, before wing mid-length (around 36% of total wing length); RA forked sightly before wing mid-length, at 2.81 mm from wing base, fork at 45° angle; RA 1 very faint and straight, RA 2 curved. Common stem M+CuA long, 1.17 mm long, forked shortly after common stem R at 2.33 mm from wing base (around 40% of total wing length). Vein M forked at 3.71 mm from wing base; common stem M shorter than fork M 1 +M 2; M 1 and M 2 weakly sinusoidal, slightly diverging distally. Vein CuA forked at 2.90 mm from wing base, at wing mid-length; common stem CuA slightly shorter (almost equal) to branch CuA 2 in length; CuA 1 curved, CuA 2 straight and slightly under half length of CuA 1, resulting in wide and short AP cell; crossvein cua-cup absent. Vein CuP thinner than other veins, straight. PCu close and parallel to CuP; A present, running alongside wing margin for most its length, possibly joining PCu distally. Remarks. The distal section of A is weakly pronounced and very thin, but based on our observations, seems to join with PCu to form a long Y shape, a character very frequent in the Auchenorrhyncha but rarely encountered in the Sternorrhyncha.
