long, extending nearly two-thirds its length beyond the

Holotype (c?) : Tachienln, 5000-8500 ft., Sikang; Ang. 
27, 1939 ; F. Y. Cheng, Io Chon and Tein Ho Hei ; in the 
Mnsenm of Comparative Zoology. Allotype (2) : Same 
collecting data as holotype, in my own collection. Para- 
type: 1 <?, same collecting data as holotype, in my own col- 
lection. 
This species, belonging to the davidi group, is a very 
interesting one, superficially resembling the common 
European species communis ; but the peculiar shape of the 
genital segments both in male and female makes it easily 
recognized as a distinct species. 
Panorpa fructa n. sp. 
Figures 5, 6, 7, 
Body mostly sooty black, last few abdominal segments 
of male reddish brown, vertex black anteriorly, deeply 
reddish brown posteriorly; rostrum uniformly reddish 
brown. Fore wing : length, 11.5 mm. ; width, 3 mm. ; mem- 
brane hyaline, markings light brown, ill-defined, frag- 
mentary; pterostigmal band incomplete, with a spot-like 
basal branch ; basal band represented by two spots ; apical 
band appears as a light suspicion of brown at the apex; 
basal spot very small ; marginal spots large ; pterostigma 
not very prominent. Hind wing : length, unknown ; width, 
3 mm. ; similar to fore wing, except that basal band and 
basal spot are entirely absent. genitalia : genital bulb 
very rounded; coxopodites long, stout, with four spine- 
like hairs and a series of short hairs in its distal inner 
portions; harpagones slender, the outer margin rather 
straight, the inner margin with a median angle and a 
rather large basal concave area; hypandrium inconspic- 
uous ; hypovalvse shorter than in the preceding species, far 
from reaching to the base of the harpagones ; parameres 
simple, long and twisted, the distal half well-developed, 
with rounded apex furnished with a short spine-like tip ; 
preepiproct rather short, broad at the base, narrow 
towards apex, with a broad U-shaped distal incision;
