Key to species in Sinopanorpa Cai & Hua gen. nov. (male)

1 Terga I–V brown; basal lobe of gonostylus much narrower, its proximal and apical parts almost the same width and bifurcated transversally at apex ( Fig. 4E ); ventral parameres slender and very long, extending to 3/5 of gonostylus and beyond the mesal process ( Fig. 4D ); gonocoxite blackish..................................... ............................................................................................................. Sinopanorpa nangongshana sp.nov.

- Terga I–V dark brown to black; basal lobe of gonostylus wider, with apical part much wider than basal part; ventral parameres short, only reaching the basal lobe of gonostylus at most; gonocoxite yellowish brown to brown............................................................................................................................................2

2 Gonostylus smoothly bent outwards ( Fig. 3B–C ); basal lobe of gonostylus very developed, broadly opened at apex with two acute distal hooks ( Fig. 3D ); ventral parameres extending slightly over the basal lobes, with quite short brown spines along their mesal margin ( Fig. 3E ). Sinopanorpa digitiformis sp.nov.

- Gonostylus strongly bent outwards ( Fig. 1C–E ); basal lobe of gonostylus prominent, flake-like, bifurcated apically; ventral parameres only extending to the basal lobes, with long comb - like dark spines along mesal margin at distal half ( Fig. 1E ) ................................................................
