Panorpa connexa MacLachlan, 1869: Martynova 1957: 732 [morphology, taxonomy, key, distribution]

Published records: Kropyvnytskyi (Martynova 1957).

Remarks: Martynova (1957) reported the presence of two specimens of P. connexa housed in collection of ZIN RAS, labelled as “ЕлиЗаветград [ныне Кировоград], Херс. г. 20 v 91, Яцентковский” [Elisavethrad town [now Kirovograd], Khersonska huberniya, 20.05.1891, leg. A.V. Yatsentkovskii] and concluded that the label is correct. Willmann (1975, 1978a) reported P. connexa only from the Caucasus and northern Turkey along the Caspian Sea.

The presence of P. connexa in Ukraine should be confirmed.
