Panorpa kiusiuensis Issiki, 1929: 302 , fig. 19 (type locality: Gokanoshō, Kiusiu (= Kyushu), Japan).

Panorpa kiusiuensis – Penny & Byers 1979: 378. — Miyamoto 1988: 42, fig. 15. — Miyamoto & Nakamura 2008: 232, pl. 88, fig. 1359.

Diagnosis

This species is superficially similar to Panorpa multifasciaria Miyaké, 1910 , but can be readily differentiated from the latter by the following characters: 1) wing markings more reduced; and 2) male hypovalves long, almost as long as basal stalk of hypandrium (cf. shorter than basal stalk).

Distribution

Japan: Kyushu (Fukuoka, Kagoshima, Kumamoto, Oita, Saga) ( Fig. 6 ).
