Abstract The well-known Middle-Late Jurassic Yanliao Biota contains abundant and excellently preserved terrestrial fossils. It can be subdivided into the early Yanliao Biota,i.e. the Daohugou Biota,and the late Yanliao Biota,i.e. the Linglongta Biota,respectively. The Daohugou Biota contains a triglyptids clam shrimp fauna,including Triglypta haifanggouensis,T. luanpingensis and T.pingquanensis. The Linglongta Biota contains a triglyptids-aquilonoglyptids clam shrimp fauna,comprising Triglypta jianchangensis,Liaoxiestheria linglongtaensis,Linglongtaestheria daxishanensis and Linglongtaestheria qinglongensis. According to the latest SEM research results,Qaidamestheria,Liaoxiestheria and Linglongtaestheria should be assigned to the family Aquilonoglyptidae. Punctatestheria,ornamented with evenly distributed punctae,first occurred in the Lower Jurassic Badaowan Formation in Junggar Basin,and gave rise to Triglypta in the late Middle Jurassic. Qaidamestheria does not have direct evolutionary relationship with Triglypta.
