Panorpa multifasciaria – Miyaké 1913: 360, pl. 36, fig. 20. — Esben-Petersen 1915: 221; 1921: 38, figs 37–38; pl. 1, fig. 10. — Penny & Byers 1979: 379. — Miyamoto 1988: 42. — Suzuki & Suzuki 2015: 51, figs 1, 3.

Diagnosis

This species is very similar to Panorpa striata Miyaké, 1908 by the greatly shortened male hypovalves, but can be readily differentiated from the latter by the lack of two reversed Y-shaped patterns on the wings.

Distribution

Japan: Honshu (Gifu, Hiroshima, Hyōgo, Nagano, and Toyama) ( Fig. 6 ).
