Adjacivena rasnitsyni gen. n., sp. n., from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation (Daohugou Village, Inner Mongolia,
China), is described based on a set of well-preserved specimens, interpreted as two females and a male of the same species. The new
taxon is assigned to the family Susumaniidae, i.e. is a candidate stem-Phasmatodea. This ordinal assignment is supported by genital
elements, chiefly a putative operculum concealing the ovipositor observed in one female specimen and a putative extension of the
10th tergum with a thorn pad in the male specimen. Variation in the venation of the forewing is appreciated based on more or less
complete pairs of wings and a comparison with that in the forewings of male Heteropteryx dilatata (Parkinson, 1798). This material
offers new perspectives on the primary homologies of the hind wing venation of stick-insects.
