Protolingia sp. indet.

Description. Forewing ( Figs. 2 A, 3A). Length 35 mm, width 14 mm as preserved (estimated complete length about 50 mm, width 15 mm). Sc and R1 fused at the level of the origin of the distal branches of Rs; Sc+R1 terminating on wing margin before apex. Two rows of costal cells proximally; one row distally. MP is abundantly pectinately branched.

Material examined. Specimen PIN № 3073/491, an incompletely preserved distal part of forewing ( Figs. 2 A, 3A). Kyrgyzstan: Batken Province, Batken district, on the bounder with Tajikistan; Sai-Sagul locality, upper Lower Jurassic–lower Middle Jurassic.

Comments. The species assignment of the fragment of forewing PIN № 3073/491 is unclear, and it should be treated as Protolingia sp. indet.
