( Fig.2 ) Architipula abnormis Hao & Ren, 2009 : 172 , figs 1–9. Remarks. Architipula abnormis Hao & Ren, 2009 from the late Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Daohugou ( China ) was previously regarded as a member of the Limoniidae . After re-examining the holotype of A. abnormis , we found that the cross-vein sc-r was omitted in the original description ( Fig. 2 ). It has a presectoral position and we propose to transfer this species from Limoniidae to Pediciidae . This species corresponds mostly to the generic characters of Praearchitipula Kalugina, 1985 , such as Rs bifurcating into a long R2+3 and a short R4+5; cross-vein r-m between R5 and M1+2. It differs from other species of Praearchitipula in the shorter length of d-cell, which is about 1/13 the length of wing.
