The Faveoloolithidae,erected by Zhao and Ding (1976),were first described from the Albian-Cenomanian of the Gobi Desert,Mongolia (Sochava,1969,1971),and were assigned the name multicanaliculate. The group includes Faveoloolithus ningxiaensis Zhao Ding,1976 from the Cretaceous of Alxa,Nei Mongol and Youngoolithus xiaguanensis Zhao,1979 from the Cretaceous of Xiaguan Basin,Henan Province. So far,faveoloolithid eggs have been reported from Xichuan,Xixia (Zhou and Han,1993; Zhang and Li,1998) and Wulichuan basins (Zhou and Feng,2002) in Henan Province,Jinqu,Tiantai (Zhang and Li,1998) and Yongkang basins (Yu et al.,2003) in Zhejiang Province,and Qinglong Mountain in Hubei Province (Guan et al.,1997; Zhou et al.,1998). Clutches have also been found in Khermiyn-Tsav and Ikh-Shunkht in Mongolia (Mikhailov et al.,1994),and Bosung in South Korea (Huh and Zelenitsky,2002). However,except for F . ningxiaensis and Y . xiaguanensis ,other specimens’ parataxonomic position within Faveoloolithidae was uncertain. In this paper,detailed redescriptions of the holotypes of F . ningxiaensis and Y . xiaguanensis ,and of some new material from Tiantai Basin,Zhejiang Province,are presented along with comments on the parataxonomy of this group of eggs.
