Panorpa guttata View in CoL group sensu Wang & Hua, 2021

( Figs 1–19 View FIGURE 1 View FIGURE 2 View FIGURE 3 View FIGURE 4 View FIGURE 5 View FIGURE 6 View FIGURE 7 View FIGURE 8 View FIGURE 9 View FIGURE 10 View FIGURE 11 View FIGURE 12 View FIGURE 13 View FIGURE 14 View FIGURE 15 View FIGURE 16 View FIGURE 17 View FIGURE 18 View FIGURE 19 )

Diagnosis. Species in this group are very similar to those in the Panorpa wormaldi group sensu Issiki (1933) from Japan and southern China by their small body sizes (with forewing length usually not exceeding 14.0 mm), the wings held roof-like ( Figs 1B, C, E & D View FIGURE 1 ; 7 View FIGURE 7 ) or more or less horizontal ( Figs 1A, C, F & G View FIGURE 1 ; 15 View FIGURE 15 ) over the abdomen when at rest, male abdomen shorter than wings, and the short and cylindrical male A6–A8. However, they greatly differ from the latter by the structure of the male and female genitalia: in males, 1) hypandrium usually Y-shaped with slender hypovalves (cf. usually with U-shaped broad hypovalves); 2) ventral valves of aedeagus membranous (cf. greatly sclerotized); 3) lateral processes of aedeagus short and simple (cf. greatly elongated); in females, 4) medigynium lacking dorsal plate (cf. with greatly developed dorsal plate); and 5) medigynium with pair of posterior arms usually shorter than greatly developed main plate (cf. pair of long posterior arms longer than poorly developed main plate).

Distribution. Central and southwestern China ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 ).
