Diagnosis

This species is similar to Panorpa implicata Cheng, 1957 and Panorpa obliqua Carpenter, 1945 in the V-shaped patter formed by marginal spot and pterostigmal band, but can be readily differentiated from the latter two by the following characters: 1) scutella yellowish and distinctly paler than nota (cf. dark); 2) male gonostylus with basal process bifurcated (cf. unfurcated); and 3) female axis extremely short without distinct apodemes (cf. well-developed with distinct apodemes).

Distribution

China: Guangdong (Conghua, Shaoguan, Shixing) (Fig. 6).
