''Juracimbrophlebia'' is an extinct genus of hangingflies that lived during the Middle Jurassic Period about 165 million years ago. The type species was discovered from Daohugou in northeastern China’s Inner Mongolia. The insect was selected by the International Institute for Species Exploration at Arizona State University as one of the ''Top 10 New Species'' discovered in 2012 out of more than 140 nominated species. The uniqueness is its striking resemblance to the fossilised leaves with which it was discovered, indicating one of the earliest instances of biological mimicry. The selection was announced on 22 May 2013. == Type species and etymology ==
''Juracimbrophlebia ginkgofolia'' is the only species so far described under the genus. The generic name is derived from a combination of ''Jura- '' and ''cimbrophlebia'' (for the type genus of the family Cimbrophlebiidae), referring to the Jurassic age and its scorpionfly nature; and the specific name ''ginkgofolia'' is the combination of Latin word ''ginkgo'' and a suffix ''-folia'' to imply the characteristic ginkgo, leaf-like wings.〔
