Panorpa amamiensis – Miyamoto 1988: 42, fig. 3. — Nakamura 2009: 334, figs 1, 4–10.

Diagnosis

This species is similar to Panorpa longiramina Issiki & Cheng, 1947 in the greatly reduced wing markings, but can be readily differentiated from the latter by the following characters: 1) wings with reduced basal and pterostigmal bands and marginal spot (cf. only a small spot near pterostigma); and 2) male parameres bifurcated (cf. trifurcated).

Distribution

Japan: Kagoshima (Amami) ( Fig. 6).
