Praearchitipula abnormis (Hao & Ren, 2009) —comb. nov. (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 R 2 + 3 and a short R 4 + 5; cross-vein r-m between R 5 and M 1 + 2. It differs from other species of Praearchitipula in the shorter length of d-cell, which is about 1 / 13 the length of wing. : 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 page 243, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3963.2.5, http://zenodo.org/record/236280 : {"references": ["Hao, J.
