(Figs 1, 2)
Holotype. NIGP171749, with part and counterpart; legs missing, hindwings mostly invisible.
Etymology. The specific epithet is derived from the Latin “pulcher”, meaning beautiful.
Typelocalityandhorizon. Nanlianglocality, Daohugou Village, Wuhua Township, Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, China; Haifanggou Formation; Upper Jurassic.
Diagnosis. Antenna with flagellomere I relatively long, slighter shorter than flagellomere II (flagellomere I much shorter in J. daidaleos Fu & Huang, 2019); tegmen with length/width about 3.9, without contrasting colour pattern; vein RA arched, bent to RP at middle, making a broad fanshaped area between veins ScP and RA, wider than cell C1; MP deeply forked; cell C3 elongate, distinctly longer than cell C3a and C3b; apical cells ten in number.
Description. Body strongly dorsoventrally flattened (Fig. 1A, B), preserved body length about 13.30 mm long, 3.27 mm wide at broadest point.
Head (Fig. 2A, B). Rounded apically, width with compound eyes narrower than pronotum; compound eyes large; postclypeus flat, covered with distinct dense punctures; antenna inserted in deep cavities, length about 1.78 mm, scape apparently thicker than pedicel, pedicel thicker and longer than flagellomere I, at least seven flagellomeres visible (Fig. 2C), flagellomeres incrementally grading to slightly thinner, flagellomere I slighter shorter than flagellomere II, flagellomeres II–VI becoming progressively shorter, flagellomere VII quite long, tapering apically.
Thorax (Fig. 2A, B). Pronotum broad, subhexagonal, 3.25 mm wide at broadest point, about 1.5 times as wide as head; covered with tiny punctures; anterior margin almost straight; posterior margin smoothly concave medially. Mesonotum slightly wider than head.
Tegmen (Fig. 1C, D). Length 12.2 mm, width 3.1 mm; surface without disruptive colour pattern, e. g. dark bands or irregular patches of darker areas; clavus area sclerotized; postcostal cell, median cell, cubital cell, clavus area and around veins covered with punctures; costal margin smoothly arched, apical margin rounded, posterior margin almost straight; Pc+CP ending not beyond tip of basal cell; ScP fused with stems R+MP+CuA at about 1/3 of basal cell length; ScP+R, MP and CuA separating from stems ScP+R+MP+CuA almost at same point; basal cell with length about 0.30 of tegmen length; basal cross vein cua-cup almost straight; RA 2-branched, RA 1 unparallel with ScP, RA 2 arched, bent to RP medially and connected to RP by cross vein ir; stem MP forking into MP 1+2 and MP at basal 0.62 of tegmen length; cross vein imp connected MP 2 and MP 3; cell C3 about 1.5–1.8 times as long as C3a and C3b; stem CuA curved anteriorly, forked nearly at same level of stem ScP+RA fork, CuA 1 arched basally, connected to MP 3+4 by cross vein mp-cua; CuP almost straight; Pcu ending slightly apicad of stem MP fork; A 1 sinuous.
3+4
Abdomen. Abdomen slightly narrower than pronotum; genital plates obscure; genital styles elongate; anal tube relatively wide; aedeagus and anal styles not clearly visible.
