A new fossil species of Procercopidae, Anthoscytina daidaleos sp. nov., is described and illustrated based on five adult specimens from the Middle to Upper Jurassic Haifanggou Formation at Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, northeastern China. The new species can be distinguished from other species of Anthoscytina Hong, 1983 by the combination of maculated wings and veins RA and RP multi-branched. Our new find sheds further light on the diversity of Jurassic procercopids in the early assemblage of the Yanliao biota from the Daohugou beds.
