Diagnosis

This species is similar to Panorpa wormaldi MacLachlan, 1875 , but can be differentiated from the latter by the following characters: 1) wings with an additional short stripe between two reversed Y-shaped patterns along hind margin (cf. lacking such a stripe); and 2) male hypovalves greatly shortened and shorter than basal stalk of hypandrium (cf. longer).

Distribution

Japan: Shikoku (Ehime and Tokushima) ( Fig. 6 ).
