Abstract
AbstractThe new generic name Martynovocossus nom. nov. (Hemiptera, Palaeontinidae) is proposed as a replacement name for the preoccupied and junior homonym Pseudocossus Martynov, 1931, non Pseudocossus Kenrick, 1914, non Pseudocossus Gaede, 1933. The new genus group is redefined based on new, exceptionally preserved material including complete forewings and hindwings with colour pattern preservation. The synonymies for Martynovocossus zemcuznicovi comb. nov., M. turgaiensis comb. nov., M. strenus comb. nov., M. punctulosus comb. nov., M. bellus comb. nov. and M. ancylivenius comb. nov. are established, and the diagnostic characters for M. strenus comb. nov., M. bellus comb. nov. and M. punctulosus comb. nov. are revised. Two new species, M. decorus sp. nov. and M. cheni sp. nov., are described from the Middle Jurassic Daohugou Lagerstätte. Martynovocossus species display considerable intraspecific variation, particularly in aspects of wing size, venation and colour pattern. A key to species of Martynovocossus is presented.
