Geodiversitas 26 (1) : 33-60. GEODIVERSITAS • 2004 • 26 (1) © Publications Scientifiques du Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris. www.geodiversitas.com 33 Fleck G. et al. ABSTRACT The Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous dragonfly family Tarsophlebiidae is revised. The type species of the type genus Tarsophlebia Hagen, 1866, T. eximia (Hagen, 1862) from the Upper Jurassic Solnhofen Limestones, is redescribed, including important new information on its head, legs, wings, anal appendages and male secondary genital apparatus. The type specimen of Tarsophlebiopsis mayi Tillyard, 1923 is regarded as an aberrant or unusually preserved Tarsophlebia eximia. One new species of Tarsophlebia and three new species of Turanophlebia are described, i.e. Tarsophlebia minor n. sp., Turanophlebia anglicana n. sp., T. mongolica n. sp., and T. vitimensis n. sp. A new combination is proposed for Turanophlebia neckini (Martynov, 1927) n. KEY WORDS comb. The phylogenetic relationships of the Mesozoic Tarsophlebiidae are Insecta, Odonatoptera, discussed on the basis of new body and wing venation characters. The present Zygoptera, analysis supports a rather derived position for the Tarsophlebiidae, as sister Epiproctophora, group of the the Epiproctophora rather than of (Zygoptera + Epiproc- Tarsophlebiidae, Sieblosiidae, tophora). Also, through the present discussion, the Oligo-Miocene family Upper Jurassic-Lower Sieblosiidae seems to be more closely related to the Epiproctophora than to Cretaceous, Cenozoic, the Zygoptera. But the present study and previous analyses suffer of the lack fossil, of informations concerning the more inclusive groups of Odonatoptera, viz. copulation, Protozygoptera, Triadophlebiomorpha, Protanisoptera, etc. The significance phylogeny, revision, of the tarsophlebiid secondary male genital apparatus for the reconstruction new species. of the evolution of odonate copulation is discussed. RÉSUMÉ Révision des Tarsophlebiidae du Jurassique supérieur et Crétacé inférieur, discus- sion sur les positions phylogénétiques des Tarsophlebiidae et des Sieblosiidae (Insecta, Odonatoptera, Panodonata). La famille de libellules mésozoïques des Tarsophlebiidae est révisée. L’espèce type du genre type Tarsophlebia Hagen, 1866, T. eximia (Hagen, 1862) du cal- caire lithographique du Jurassique supérieur de la Bavière, est redécrite, in- cluant de nouvelles données sur les structures de la tête, des pattes, des ailes, des appendices anaux et des pièces génitales secondaires du mâle. Le type de Tarsophlebiopsis mayi Tillyard, 1923 est considéré comme un spécimen aberrant ou curieusement préservé de Tarsophlebia eximia. Une nouvelle espèce de Tarsophlebia et trois nouvelles espèces de Turanophlebia sont décrites : Tarsophlebia minor n. sp., Turanophlebia anglicana n. sp., T. mongolica n. sp. et T. vitimensis n. sp. Une nouvelle combinaison est proposée pour Turanophlebia MOTS CLÉS neckini (Martynov, 1927) n. comb. Les relations phylogénétiques des Insecta, Tarsophlebiidae sont discutées sur la base des nouveaux caractères du corps et Odonatoptera, Zygoptera, des ailes. Notre analyse conclut à une probable position des Tarsophlebiidae Epiproctophora, comme groupe frère des Epiproctophora, plutôt que des (Zygoptera + Tarsophlebiidae, Sieblosiidae, Epiproctophora). Au travers de la présente discussion, il ressort que la famille Jurassique supérieur- cénozoïque des Sieblosiidae semble plus proche des Epiproctophora que des Crétacé inférieur, Zygoptera. Il apparaît aussi clairement que toutes ces analyses phylogénétiques Cénozoïque, fossile, souffrent du manque de données concernant les groupes plus basaux, comme copulation, les Protozygoptera, Triadophlebiomorpha ou Protanisoptera. L’intérêt des phylogénie, pièces génitales secondaires des mâles des Tarsophlebiidae pour l’analyse de révision, nouvelles espèces. l’évolution de la copulation chez les Odonatoptera est discuté. 34 GEODIVERSITAS • 2004 • 26 (1) Revision of Tarsophlebiidae (Odonatoptera) INTRODUCTION Bq series of cross-veins between RP1+2, IR2 and oblique vein; The Tarsophlebiidae Handlirsch, 1906 is one of C costal vein or costa; Cr nodal cross-vein; the most enigmatic Mesozoic family of Odona- CuA Cubitus Anterior; toptera.

Urogomphus giganteus and U. eximius are redescribed, and a lectotype for U. eximius is designated. Lithoaeschnidium viohli is considered as a syno- nym of U. eximius. A new species Urogomphus nusplingensis n. sp. is described from the Upper Jurassic Lithographie Limestone of Nusplingen, while the 20 other known speeimens of this genus have been found in the Solnhofen Lithographie Limestone. Urogomphus abscissus is con- sidered as conspeeifie with Bergeriaeschnidia inexpeetata, and the holotype of the latter species is designated as neotype of U. abscissus, so that its valid name is now Bergeriaeschnidia abscissa comb. nov. The phylogenetic position of Urogomphus and Aeschnidiidae is discussed, a new taxon Neoanisoptera is introduced, and an explanation for the extinetion of Aeschnidiidae is proposed.

Total of 24 species belonging to 19 genera and 11 families were recorded of which 22 species are new record for the study area, 20 species for the Punakha Dzongkhag and 1 for Bhutan. The updated list of species for Punakha Dzongkhag is 28 species and for Bhutan is 85 species. Important records are Anisogomphus caudalis a Data Deficient species and a new record for Bhutan, Aristocypha (Rhinocypha) cuneata, another Data Deficient species, Epiophlebia laidlawi a Near Threatened species and Anisopleura bella a recently described species currently recorded only from Bhutan. Keywords: Dragonfly, odonata, new record, Toebirongchhu sub-watershed, Punakha, Bhutan. 1. Introduction Dragonflies belong to order Odonata and are among the most ancient of winged insects [1, 2]. The extant dragonflies are divided into two suborders, the Zygoptera or damselflies and the Anisoptera or true dragonflies, and the erstwhile third suborder Anisozygoptera is either included in Anisoptera or combined with them under the new name Epiprocta in recent times [1].

Strat., 126(1): 13-35. Keywords: character evolution; Cretaceous; moult; Myanmar; Odonatoptera; ontogeny. Abstract. The fossil record of dragonfly relatives (Odonatoptera) dates back to the Carboniferous, yet knowl- edge about these extinct animals is meagre. For most of the species little is known except for the characteristics of the wing venation. As a result, it is difficult to include fossil larvae in a (wing character based) phylogenetic tree as the wing venation is not visible in most of the larval instars. Two larval specimens from Cretaceous Burmese amber are in the focus of this study. The two specimens likely represent two subsequent early stage larval instars of the same individual. Not only is this an exceptional case to study ontogenetic processes in fossils – the larval instars are morphologically completely different from all known larvae of Odonata with respect to the posterior abdominal region.
