Description
Fingerprints were found in Jurassic sediments in eastern Inner Mongolia (northern China, Daohugou; Jiulongshan Formation). Relatively large insects, wingspan about 9 cm. Wings are oval, with rounded peaks, without spots. There is no pterostigm [1] .
Systematics
They are assigned to the family Aetheogrammatidae (with the only fossil species Aetheogramma speciosa ) [2] , which include Ectopogrammatinae as a separate subfamily. In the last authors of the description also include the genus Kalligrammina Panfilov [3] [4] as incertae sedis [1] .
Etymology
The species name E. kalligrammoides is given by the name of the nearby taxon Kalligrammatidae , with which it has found similar plesiomorphic characters (extreme venation of the wings). The species was described by the American paleontologist Michael S. Engel; Division of Entomology (Paleoentomology), Natural History Museum, and Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas ) and Chinese entomologists D. Huang and C. Lin (Diying Huang, Qibin Lin; Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences , Nanjing) [1] .
