Lichnomesopsyche is an extinct genus of mesopsychid mecopteran which existed in what is now China during the middle Jurassic period. It was found in the Daohugou Bed.[1] It was named by Ren Dong, Conrad C. Labandeira and Shih ChungKun in 2010.[1] Three species have been named, which can be distinguished by their differing male genitalia.[2]
