文摘A new family of planthoppers Fulgoromorpha from the Lower Jurassic of southern China is described to comprise Qiyangiricania cesta Lin,1986.The new family differs in venation pattern from the other Jurassic representatives of Fulgoroidea,presenting particular model of tegmen venation,not found among extinct and recent planthoppers.The Mesozoic stage of Fulgoroidea evolution is discussed.The extinct taxon Ricaniites fulgens（Brodie,1845）from the Purbeck of United Kingdom is excluded from the Hemiptera.
