Panorpa okinawaensis Nakamura, 2009: 337 , figs 2, 11–17 (type locality: Oku, Kunigami Village, Okinawa-jima, Ryukyu Islands, Japan).

Diagnosis

This species is superficially resembling Panorpa amamiensis Miyamoto & Makihara, 1984 , but can be readily differentiated from the latter by the following characters: in males, 1) gonostylus with basal process bearing two small teeth on mesial edge; 2) paramere bifurcated with a long and stout dorsal branch; 3) aedeagus with developed lateral process of dorsal valves; and in females, and 4) medigynium with axis twice longer than posterior arms.

Distribution

Japan: Okinawa (Okinawa-jima) ( Fig. 6).
