Neopanorpa hirsuta

This insect is readily distinguished from all described 
males of the genus by the remarkable development of the 
hairs on the genital forceps. These hairs are so prominent 
that they can easily be seen without the aid of a lens. Three 
Indian species of Neopanorpa have been described from fe- 
males alone (zebrata, flava, ocellaris ), but even allowing

for the usual variation in the markings, the differences be- 
tween the wings of these species and the wings of hirsuta 
clearly show that we are dealing with a distinct species. 
The wings of zebrata (Travancore) are traversed by a num- 
ber of narrow stripes; those of ocellaris (Sikhim) are 
mostly a dark, smoky brown, with a few small hyaline 
spots; and those of flava (Sikhim) have a reddish yellow 
membrane. The wings of hirsuta are hyaline, as in zebrata , 
but the markings are very different, as shown in Fig. 1.
