New and poorly known Mesozoic damsel-dragonflies (Odonata: Isophlebioidea: Campterophlebiidae, Isophlebiidae)

The diagnoses of the families Campterophlebiidae and Isophlebiidae are emended. Campterophlebia elegans BODE, 1905, type of the Campterophlebiidae, and Sinitsia sophiae PRITYKINA, 2006 are redescribed. The latter is transferred from the Isophlebiidae into the Campterophlebiidae sit. nov. Two new campterophlebiids are described: Pritykinia rasnitsyni n. gen., n. sp. (Lowermost Cretaceous of Russia) and Qibinlina sinica n. gen., n. sp. (Middle Jurassic of China). Three new isophlebiids are described: Walleria magnifica n. gen., n. sp. (Upper Jurassic of Kazakhstan), Parawalleria mongolica n. gen., n. sp. and Parawalleria incompleta n. sp. (Upper Jurassic of Mongolia). K e y w o r d s : Odonata, Isophlebioptera, Isophlebioidea, Campterophlebiidae, Isophlebiidae, Campterophlebia, Sinitsia, emended diagnoses, redescription, n. gen., n. sp., Mesozoic, Jurassic, Cretaceous, Germany, Russia, Mongolia, China. Z u s a m m e n f a s s u n g Die Diagnosen der Familien Campterophlebiidae und Isophlebiidae werden berichtigt und erweitert. Campterophlebia elegans BODE, 1905, Typus der Campterophlebiidae, und Sinitsia sophiae PRITYKINA, 2006 werden wiederbeschrieben. Letztere wird von den Isophlebiidae zu den Campterophlebiidae sit. nov. überführt. Zwei neue Campterophlebiiden werden beschrieben: Pritykinia rasnitsyni n. gen., n. sp. (Unterste Kreide von Russland) und Qibinlina sinica n. gen., n. sp. (Mittlerer Jura von China). Drei neue Isophlebiiden werden beschrieben: Walleria magnifica n. gen., n. sp. (Oberer Jura von Kasachstan), Parawalleria mongolica n. gen., n. sp. and Parawalleria incompleta n. sp. (Oberer Jura der Mongolei).
