terior apical area and a small posterior spot; pterostigmal band

pterostigmal and basal bands; basal band complete and very 
broad; first basal spot present, second and both marginal spots 
absent. Cross-veins not margined. Hind wing: similar to fore

Huang Shan, Anhwei Province, China (G. Liu). A second fe- 
male (in poor condition) was collected on Kinhua Shan, 
Anhwei, China, October 1932 (G. Liu). 
This strikingly marked species is unlike any other described 
Asiatic species of Panorpa. The male should be easily recog- 
nized by the orange color of the wings.

The type of this Tibetan species has been redescribed and 
figured by Esben-Petersen (1921), but his drawing does not 
show clearly the characteristics of the male genital bulb. I 
therefore include here a figure of the genital bulb of the type 
which I made at the Museum National in Paris in 1938. The 
hypovalvae and ventral valves are slender and long, and the 
inner surface of the ventral valves bears a series of short barbs. 
At the base of the forceps the bulb itself gives rise to a promi- 
nent papilla, along the inner surface of which there is a row of 
stout hairs. An excellent photograph of the wings has been 
published by Esben-Petersen. 
Genus Neopanorpa Weele 
Including the three described below, twelve species of Neo- 
panorpa are known from China.
