oilshale Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Might be, but more paint than dragonfly. Thomas Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranha Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Sinaeschnidia cancellosa is a junior synonym. The current classification is: Aeschnidium heishankowense "Recently, a great quantity of adult dragonflies with fore and / or hindwings in connection with bodies have fortunately been recovered from the Yixian Formation in Beipiao City (Figure 4A–E, G). They were regarded by Ren et al. (1995) as a new species, Sinaeschnidia cancellosa Ren, 1995, but I do not recognize any difference in morphology between it and Aeschnidium heishankowense." Zhang, J. (1999) Aeschnidiid nymphs from the Jehol biota (latest Jurassic–Early Cretaceous), China, with a discussion of the family Aeschnidiidae (Insecta, Odonata).
