Neopanorpa van der Weele, 1909

Neopanorpa van der Weele, 1909: 4 . Type species: Panorpa angustipennis Westwood, 1842 .

Campodotecnum Enderlein, 1910: 391 . Type species: Panorpa javanica Westwood, 1842 .

Diagnosis. Neopanorpa can be distinguished from other genera of Panorpidae by the following characters: (1) Wings considerably narrow, especially at base, normally with apical band, pterostigmal band, submedian band, basal band and marginal spot ( Fig. 3 ); (2) vein 1A extending to anal margin well before origin of the radial sector, and one cross vein between 1A and 2A ( Fig. 3 ); (3) male abdomen normally not longer than wings; (4) notal organ (the posterior process on male abdominal tergum III, T3) normally well developed, connecting with post-notal organ (the minor protuberance on T4) ( Fig. 8e ); (5) hypandrium (male sternum IX, S9) normally with long broad basal stalk and a pair of elongated hypovalves ( Fig. 8g ); (6) epandrium (male T9) truncate or shallowly emarginated at apex, bearing an elongated ventral projection (epandrial lobe) on each side apically ( Fig. 8i ); (7) paramere bifurcated into ventral and dorsal branch; each dorsal branch consisting of a lateral process and dorsal process ( Fig. 15b ); (8) female subgenital plate oval-shaped, with emargination at apex ( Fig. 15d ); (9) female genital plate simple with narrow main plate and a pair of developed posterior arms, axis normally not extending anteriorly beyond main plate or only for a short length ( Figs. 9e & 18e ).

Distribution. Endemic to the Oriental Region and currently recorded in China, Japan, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
