New isophlebioid dragonflies (Odonata: Isophlebioptera: Campterophlebiidae) from the Middle Jurassic of China

Three new representatives of the Odonata Campterophlebiidae are described from the Middle Jurassic of Daohugou (Inner Mongolia, China), i.e. Amnifleckia guttata n. gen., n. sp., Amnifleckia splendida n. sp., and Parabrunetia celinea n. gen., n. sp. Their close affinities with the genus Pternopteron (Dogger of Kirgizia) support a similar age for the Daohugou fauna.
