Membrane subhyaline, tinged with yellow and deeply yellowish brown along longitudinal veins. Markings brown. Pterostigma deep yellowish brown. Apical band broad, notched posteriorly and ending near M 1; pterostigmal band narrow, with basal branch broader than three times width of apical branch. Forewing Rs six-branched, with R 2 trifurcated; M 4 greatly bent at m-cu; 1 A ending proximal to ORs; one cross-vein between 1 A and 2 A. Hindwings similar to forewings, lacking cu-a.</p><p>Abdomen (Fig. 5 A, D). Terga and sterna unevenly dark-reddish brown. Notal organ on T 3 stick-like, extending approximately to end of A 6.

Gonostyli bearing numerous long setae in basal portion, shorter than gonocoxites with indistinct median process and slightly enlarged and subglobular basal lobe; basal half swollen on ventral side. Pheromone glands whitish, broad. Parameres broad, twisted lanceolate, and bearing numerous microtrichia along membranous inner margin, with middle portion strongly protruding outward. Dorsal bridge slender. Stalk of parameres basally connected. Ventral aedeagal valves subconical, membranous, and covered with microtrichia. Dorsal aedeagal valves strongly sclerotized and short. Dorsal processes short. Lateral processes broad. Piston of sperm pump strong with thick lateral processes.</p><p>Female: unknown.</p><p>Distribution</p><p>(Fig. 13; Table 1).

The markedly enlarged notal organ on male T 3 (Fig. 12 D, E) even resembles that of Panorpa clavigera Klapálek, 1902, a member of the subfamily Panorpinae; however, the two taxa are readily distinguished by subfamilial characters (Wang and Hua 2021). The subapical processes on the inner margin of the hypovalves (Fig. 12 H, J, K) and the overall configuration of the aedeagal complex (Fig. 12 H, J, K) are similar to those of Sahyadrinorpa gen. nov., whereas the reduced gonostyli, the presence of epandrial lobes (Fig. 12 F), and the elongated lateral processes of the aedeagus (Fig. 12 J) clearly differentiate the present genus from the latter. The female medigynium is similar to those of Sahyadrinorpa gen. nov. in having a well-developed main plate but can be differentiated by the concealed and parallel apodemes (Fig. 12 M vs. elongated beyond main plate and divergent basally, Fig. 11 Q, R).</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>This new genus is named in honor of Professor Zi-Wei Yin (Shanghai Normal University) in recognition of his generous contribution of specimens.
