Praearchitipula notabilis Kalugina, 1985 (Fig. 1 A) Syn. nov.: Praearchitipula lata Kalugina, 1985: 59, fig. 24. proportion of medial veins. In P. notabilis , the vein M 1 + 2 is 2.5 times as long as M 1 (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 1 B, we cannot identify significant venational differences between these two fossils. Hence, we suggest treating P. lata as a junior synonym of P. notabilis . : Published as part of Gao, Jiaqi, Shih, Chungkun, Kopeć, Katarzyna, Krzemiński, Wiesław & Ren, Dong, 2015, New species and revisions of Pediciidae (Diptera) from the Middle Jurassic of northeastern China and Russia, pp. 240-249 in Zootaxa 3963 (2) on pages 242-243, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3963.2.5, http://zenodo.org/record/236280 : {"references": ["Kalugina, N.
