Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A fossil snakefly species, Mesoraphidia obliquivenatica (Ren, 1994), from the Lower Cretaceous (upper Barremian) of the Yixian Formation in Liaoning Province, China was discovered to possess an extremely prolonged occiput, which is a remarkable feature previously unknown in snakeflies. Based primarily on this feature, a new genus of the family Mesoraphidiidae, namely Stenoraphidia gen. nov., is erected to contain this species. In addition, a second and new species of Stenoraphidia gen. nov., i.e. Stenoraphidia longioccipitalis sp. nov., is described from the same deposit. A summary of the morphological diversification of head shapes in snakeflies is given.
