The new genus is established based on its unusual six cells on the membrane, with the second cell smallest. Key words: Heteroptera, Saldidae, fossil, Early Cretaceous, Yixian Formation Introduction Saldidae, commonly called shore bugs, is the largest family in the Leptopodomorpha: about 335 species are recognized. They are distributed worldwide, especially in the Northern Hemisphere (Schuh et al.1987; Schuh & Polhemus 2009). Saldids are usually found on rocky shores of streams and lakes (Brooks & Kelton 1967; Poinar & Buckley 2009). All saldids are predatory and most of them feed on organisms, found in the damp surface layers of the substrate (Brooks & Kelton 1967; Polhemus & Chapman 1979). Schuh and Polhemus (1980) present a hierarchic classification in Leptopodomorpha and considered the Aepophilidae to be the sister group of Saldidae. Some subfamilies such as Aepophilinae, Leptosaldinae, Saldoniinae, were formerly erected in Saldidae (Cobben 1959, 1971; Popov 1973), but they are finally removed (Leston 1956; Schuh & Polhemus 1980; Popov 1985). The widely accepted classification of the family Saldidae is that it contains two subfamilies: Chiloxanthinae and Saldinae (Schuh & Slater 1995). Records of fossil Saldidae are scarce and only seven species have been reported (Carpenter 1992). Only one incontrovertible Mesozoic species (Brevrimatus pulchalifer Zhang, Yao & Ren, 2011) from the Early Cretaceous Yixian Formation of Duolun County, Inner Mongolia, China, has been reported (Zhang et al. 2011). Most of the fossil species are found from the Cenozoic, such as the Eocene species, Salda exigua Germar & Berendt, 1856 from Baltic amber; the Upper Oligocene species, Oligosaldina rottensis Statz & Wagner, 1950, O. rhenana Statz & Wagner, 1950, and O. aquatilis Statz & Wagner, 1950 from Germany; the Miocene species, Propentacora froeschneri (Lewis, 1969) (= Oreokora froeschneri) from USA, and Salda littoralis found in recent Late Glacial clay (Jessen 1923). However, two genera and four species assigned to this group previously: Leptosalda chiapensis Cobben, 1971 from Tertiary (late Oligocene or early Miocene age) amber of Chiapas, Mexico amber; Saldonia rasnitsyni Popov, 1973, S. sibirica Popov, 1985, and S. maculata Popov, 1985 from the Lower or Middle Jurassic in Transbaikalia of Russian, were transferred to Leptopodidae and Archegocimicidae respectively (Cobben 1971, 1987; Popov 1973, 1985; Polhemus 1977; Schuh & Polhemus 1980). In the present paper, a new genus and species of Saldidae is described from the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation (about 125 Ma; Swisher et al. 1999; Zhou et al. 2003; Xing et al. 2005) in Huangbanjigou, Chaomidian Village, Beipiao City, Liaoning Province, China. The Yixian Formation is considered part of the Jehol Biota, yielding beautifully preserved insects, reptiles, birds (Lei et al. 2005; Wang & Ren 2006; Ren et al. 2010; Yao et al. 2011). The stable ecosystem, abundant vegetation, and various species suggest that the region as a whole had a Accepted by C. Schaefer: 14 Mar. 2012; published: 19 Apr
2 warm, humid climate (Liu et al. 2009). Because this species cannot be assigned to any known genera of Saldidae, we erected a new genus to accommodate it. Material and methods This fossil material is housed in the Key Laboratory of Insect Evolution & Environmental Changes, Capital Normal University, Beijing, China. The specimen was examined with a Leica MZ12.5 dissecting microscope. Photo was taken by a Nikon Digital Camera DXM1200C. Outline was drawed with Adobe Photoshop CS2. Basic terminology and the classification system follow Polhemus (1977) and Schuh and Polhemus (2009). Body length was measured along the midline from the anterior margin of the head to the apex of the abdomen. Body width was measured at the maximal width of the body. The lengths of pronotum and scutellum were measured at the midline. Wing length was measured from the basal to the apex of anterior margin. Wing width was measured at the maximal width of the wing. All metrics are provided in millimeters. Systematic paleontology Order Hemiptera Linnaeus, 1758 Suborder Heteroptera Latreille, 1810 Infraorder Leptopodomorpha Popov, 1971 Family Saldidae Amyot & Serville, 1843 Subfamily Chiloxanthinae Cobben, 1959 Genus Venustsalda gen. nov. Type species. Venustsalda locella gen. et sp. nov. Diagnosis. Compound eyes large, covering most of head in lateral view. Rostrum reaching to the base of hind coxae. Posterior pronotal margin indented distinctly. Forewings covering abdomen, macropterous; medial fracture and costal fracture long; hypocostal ridge and associated secondary hypocostal ridge present on hemelytra; corial vein reaching to outermost cell; veins on membrane forming six closed cells. In male, parandrium tapered. Etymology. The generic name is a combination of the Latin venust- (meaning charming ) and Salda (the type genus of this family). Gender feminine. Distribution. China. Remark. It is indubitable to classify this species into the family Saldidae based on the combination of characters: compound eyes large, rostrum long, posterior margin of pronotum concave, hemelytra with costal fracture and medial fracture, membrane with few cells. The new genus has six cells on its membrane, which is different from the normal cell number in Saldidae. In most saldids, the innermost cell (first cell) is longest, whereas in this new genus the normal innermost cell seems to be divided into two cells, and then finally form six cells on membrane. Therefore, the six-cells system is speculated to be derived from the five-cells system. According to its long medial fracture and costal fracture, we intend to put this genus in Chiloxanthinae. Both Venustsalda gen. nov. and Brevrimatus Zhang, Yao & Ren, 2011 come from the same formation; but the former easily differs from the latter in body size less than 6.5 mm (vs. reaches to 8.0 mm), medial fracture fused together with costal fracture (vs. medial fracture short, not connect with costal fracture), membrane with six closed cells (vs. membrane with five closed cells), and forewings surpassing the end of abdomen (vs. forewings at most reach to the end of abdomen). Venustsalda gen. nov. is similar to Oligosaldina Statz & Wagner, 1950 in body size, but can be distinguished from the latter: forewing with costal fracture (vs. without costal fracture), body dorsal surface smooth, without long hair (vs. body covered by long hair), membrane with six cells (vs. five cells). 64 Zootaxa Magnolia Press ZHANG ET AL.

5 Propentacora froeschneri (Lewis), initially assigned to the genus Oreokora (Lewis 1969) in the subfamily Saldinae, was transfered to the genus Propentacora in Chiloxanthinae (Polhemus 1977, 1985). Venustsalda gen. nov. compared with Propentacora (Lewis): length of hemelytra over 4 mm (vs. less 3mm), membrane with six cells (vs. five cells), the innermost cell (first cell) shorter than the third cell (vs. the innermost cell longest, cells reduced gradually from the inner to the outer as the normal arrangement), and corial vein reaching to the outermost cell (vs. corial vein continue between cells three and four). Salda is an extant genus with two fossil species. Most members of Salda have four cells and the fossil species S. exigua Germar & Berendt, 1856 has only three cells. Venustsalda gen. nov. has six cells, more than that in Salda. Venustsalda locella gen. et sp. nov. (Fig.1, Plate 1) Description. Body small, oval, 2.0 times as long as wide.

Pronotum subtrapezoid, 3.1 times as wide as long, moderately narrowed towards the front, anterior margin narrower than head, lateral margins nearly straight, posterior margin concave, posterior angles feebly rounded. Scutellum longer than pronotum on midline, triangle, and width about 1.4 times of length. Fore femora stout, subequal to length of corresponding tibiae, tibiae 1.9 times as long as tarsi; mid tibiae 2.0 times as long as tarsi; hind legs longest, tibiae about 1.7 times as long as femora, and 2.3 times as long as tarsi, tibiae with a row of stout setae on lateral margin, tarsi three-segmented, tarsomere I shortest, tarsomere II 1.3 times as long as tarsomere III; all tarsi with two claws.

Holotype,, CNU-HET-LB Type locality and horizon. Huangbanjigou Village, Beipiao City, Liaoning Province, China, Yixian Formation. Early Cretaceous. Etymology.
