FIGURE 1. Line drawings, re-drawn from type materials, of A— Praearchitipula notabilis Kalugina, 1985 ; B— Praearchitipula lata Kalugina, 1985 = P. notabilis , syn. nov. ; C— Praearchitipula trinervis Kalugina, 1985 . Scale bars = 1 mm. Remarks . The species P. notabilis ( Fig. 1 A) differs from P. trinervis Kalugina, 1985 ( Fig. 1 C) mainly by 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 .
