SPECIES , *TAXONOMY - Abstract
Twenty undescribed species of Panorpa Linnaeus, 1758 from southwestern China share some morphological similarities such as basally constricted male abdominal segment VII, loss of median process in male gonostyli, and greatly developed female laterotergites IX with the little-known species Panorpa issikiana Byers, 1970. Therefore, the P. issikiana species group is established to include these species, with descriptions of the new species, a checklist, keys to the species, and a distributional map provided. These new species are: P. chenyandongi Wang sp. nov., P. dalangba Wang sp. nov., P. dimaluo Wang sp. nov., P. huadianba Wang & Zhao sp. nov., P. jinfo Wang sp. nov., P. jizushana Wang sp. nov., P. leiqilongi Wang sp. nov., P. luojishana Wang sp. nov., P. maershana Wang sp. nov., P. meihuashana Wang sp. nov., P. niaodiaoshana Wang sp. nov., P. shengyingfeng Wang & Zhao sp. nov., P. shimianensis Wang sp. nov., P. sicaura Wang sp. nov., P. vajra Wang sp. nov., P. vajroides Wang & Zhao sp. nov., P. weixiensis Wang sp. nov., P. wenhai Wang sp. nov., P. wolongensis Wang sp. nov., and P. yucheni Wang sp. nov. All of them are distributed in southwestern China, including Chongqing, Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan. In addition, their systematic positions are briefl y discussed. The historical problems of P. issikiana, the systematic position of this group in the genus Panorpa, and the relationships among its members are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

Lulilan obscurus gen. nov. spec. nov., Lulilan spinifer spec. nov. and Phine succinea gen. nov. spec. nov. are described as new. Lulilan obscurus and L. spinifer are the closest relatives of L. furcatus (Hardwicke, 1823). The elongated abdominal segments 7–8 and long dististyli in the males are synapomorphies of the three species, while a processus (sternal spur) at the male’s 2nd abdominal sternum is indicative of a sistergroup relationship between obscurus and spinifer. - The wings of Phine succinea are devoid of any markings. Abdominal segments 7 and 8 are distally enlarged in the male. Medigynium (female) with a medium-sized apodeme. Apodeme without laterally extending processes serving as attachment devices for musculature in other species. more...

Simple Summary: Biodiversity and distribution patterns are important factors for ecological and biogeographical studies. However, half of the high species diversity areas are found in mountainous regions, which have been heavily impacted by climate change, land use changes, and habitat fragmentation. This makes mountain habitats and biodiversity more vulnerable than before. Scorpionflies, as ecological indicators with a narrow distribution, low-temperature preference, and weak migration ability, are ideal animals for studying the impact of climate change on insect distribution. Predicting the distribution of suitable habitats for species in different periods can help clarify the impact of climate change on species distribution and provide guidance for the conservation of endangered species. The uneven distribution of species diversity on earth, with mountainous regions housing half of the high species diversity areas, makes mountain ecosystems vital to biodiversity conservation. The Panorpidae are ecological indicators, ideal for studying the impact of climate change on potential insect distribution. This study examines the impact of environmental factors on the distribution of the Panorpidae and analyzes how their distribution has changed over three historical periods, the Last Interglacial (LIG), the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), and Current. The MaxEnt model is used to predict the potential distribution area of Panorpidae based on global distribution data. The results show that precipitation and elevation are the primary factors affecting species richness, and the suitable areas for Panorpidae are distributed in southeastern North America, Europe, and southeastern Asia. Throughout the three historical periods, there was an initial increase followed by a decrease in the area of suitable habitats. During the LGM period, there was a maximum range of suitable habitats for cool-adapted insects, such as scorpionflies. Under the scenarios of global warming, the suitable habitats for Panorpidae would shrink, posing a challenge to the conservation of biodiversity. The study provides insights into the potential geographic range of Panorpidae and helps understand the impact of climate change on their distribution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

New faunistic data are reported for 55 species of Neuroptera, two species of Raphidioptera, and three species of Mecoptera from Krasnodar Region, the Republic of Adygea, the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania (Russia) and the Republic of Abkhazia. Extensive study of these groups in 2019–2022 resulted in discovery of new species for these regions and for Russia. Two species of Neuroptera (Hemerobius gilvus Stein, 1863 and Helicoconis pseudolutea Ohm, 1965) are recorded from Russia for the first time. Seven species of Neuroptera are new for Krasnodar Region, eleven for Adygea, two for North OsetiaAlania (Wesmaelius nervosus (Fabricius, 1793) and Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens, 1836), sensu lato), and three species of Coniopterygidae, and Panorpa connexa McLachlan, 1869 for Abkhazia. In total, 79 species of Neuroptera are now known from the North-Western Caucasus, 74 from Krasnodar Region, and 45 from Adygea. This field and laboratory research clarified the biology, range of food of larvae and imagoes, and parasites of Aleuropteryx umbrata Zelený, 1964, Semidalis aleyrodiformis (Stephens, 1836), Conwentzia psociformis (Curtis, 1834), Coniopteryx esbenpeterseni Tjeder, 1930, Wesmaelius nervosus, Apertochrysa prasina (Burmeister, 1839), Cunctochrysa albolineata (Killington, 1935), and Chrysoperla carnea. Data on trophic relations, ecological preferences, and behaviour of species are significantly updated for Hemerobius marginatus Stephens, 1836, H. micans Olivier, 1792, Chrysopa viridinervis Jakowleff, 1869, Peyerimhoffina gracilis (Schneider, 1851), Distoleon tetragrammicus (Fabricius, 1798), Raphidia euxina Navás, 1915, and R. grusinica H.

Trees in a state of decline exhibit a reduced foliage density and accumulate dead branches in their crowns. Consequently, forest decline can markedly affect both the habitats and sources of food for canopy-dwelling insects. The decline-induced increase in canopy openness may also modify the understory, shrub and ground layers, and have cascading effects on associated species. Flight interception traps and green Lindgren traps were used to survey the canopy-dwelling insects in stands of healthy and declining oak trees, in particular two insect orders: Raphidioptera, saproxylic insects associated with canopies, and Mecoptera, necrophagous or opportunistic species associated with the herbaceous or shrub strata. Overall, green Lindgren traps caught more of these insects than flight interception traps. The traps caught five species of Raphidioptera. Three of them, Subilla confinis, Phaeostigma major and, to a lesser extent, Phaeostigma notata, were more abundant in stands or plots with declining trees. However, the other two species of Raphidioptera, Atlantoraphidia maculicollis and Xanthostigma xanthostigma exhibited a reverse trend. Two species of Mecoptera, Panorpa germanica and Panorpa communis, were particularly abundant, but unaffected by the level of decline. Our results show that declining forests can either host more or fewer species of Raphidioptera with saproxylic larvae, whereas Mecoptera with ground-living larvae were unaffected. Seasonal phenology and sex ratio of the species are also discussed. more...

Sexual conflict – opposite reproductive/genetic interests between sexes – can be a significant driver of insect evolution. Scorpionflies (Insecta: Mecoptera) are models in sexual conflict research due to their large variety of mating practices, including coercive behaviour and nuptial gift provisioning. However, the role of palaeontology in sexual conflict studies remains negligible, namely due to the paucity of well-preserved fossils. Here, we describe three male scorpionflies from Cretaceous and Eocene ambers. The structure of notal and postnotal organs is analysed in extant and extinct forms; a depression below the base of the notal organ in different panorpid species spatially matches the anterior fold of the female’s wing. Based on disparate abdominal configurations and correlations in extant relatives, we posit that each new fossil taxon had a different mating approach along a nuptial gifting-coercive spectrum. The Eocene specimen possesses extreme female clamping abdominal armature, suggesting a degree of sexual coercion greater than in any other known scorpionfly, extinct or extant. The fossil record of abdominal modifications in male scorpionflies documents a relatively late evolution (Eocene) of long notal organs indicating oppressive behaviour toward a female during mating. Our findings reveal a wider array of mating-related morphological specialisations among extinct Panorpoidea, likely reflecting more diversified past mating strategies and behaviours in this group, and represent first steps towards gaining a deep-time perspective on the evolution of sexual conflict over mating among insects. more...

Scorpionflies (Mecoptera, Panorpidae) as a relict group of holometabolous insects normally inhabit dense vegetations of mountain regions in the northern hemisphere. They are vulnerable to temperature changes and deforestation and thus play a significant role in insect conservation as ecological indicators. However, their elevational distribution and seasonal emergence patterns remain largely unknown. We documented the elevational richness gradient of scorpionflies in the Qinling Mountains, central China. The result revealed a distinct pattern of mid-elevational peak (hump-shaped) in species richness. The linear relationship between elevational locations of the whole community and emergence dates showed a gradual movement from lower to higher elevations over time. Niche divergence is an important ecological mechanism for closely related species to co-exist in the same region. Our investigation showed that allochronic divergences of adult emergence occurred mainly in intermediate elevations to reduce interspecific competition for resources. Spatio-temporal niche divergence was also detected in closely related species, especially in Cerapanorpa scorpionflies. Our results showed a clearer pattern of elevational diversity of scorpionflies and indicated that niche conservatism and divergence could explain the richness pattern at the same time. The area of intermediate elevations with the greatest species richness should receive a priority consideration for insect conservation for such a cool-adapted group of insects. more...

MECOPTERA ,INSECT morphology ,PHYLOGEOGRAPHY ,BIODIVERSITY - Abstract
Background: Cerapanorpa Gao, Ma & Hua, 2016, an endemic genus of Panorpidae in central China’s mountain regions, currently comprises 21 described species. Recently, the short-horned scorpionfly C. brevicornis (Hua & Li, 2007) was confirmed to contain two valid species by phylogeographic and morphological data. Individuals from the highlands of the eastern Bashan Mountains were suggested as a good species, separated from the original shorthorned C. brevicornis. New information: Cerapanorpa alpina sp. nov. was described from the alpine zone of the eastern Bashan Mountains in central China. The new species differs from its congeners by the following combination of characters: male bearing an extra-short anal horn on posterior margin of tergum VI; paramere elongate, extending beyond the median tooth of gonostylus and curved laterally at basal half; female medigynium slightly constricted medially without dorsal basal plate. The species number of Cerapanorpa is raised to 22. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] more...

An extensive study of Neuropteroidea and Mecoptera collected in Krasnodar Region and the Republic of Adygea in 2018 allowed the discovery of new species for the regions and for Russia, clarification of the taxonomic affiliation of some dubious specimens, and establish wellfounded conclusions about the ecological preferences of species.Nine species of Neuroptera are recorded for the first time from the North-Western Caucasus (and the Caucasus as a whole); 13 species (mainly Coniopterygidae) are new for Krasnodar Region and 7 for Adygea. Two species of Neuroptera (Coniopteryx haematica McLachlan, 1868 and Chrysoperla mutata (McLachlan, 1898)) are recorded from Russia for the first time. The finding of the thermophilic species Chrysoperla mutata in the north of Krasnodar Region is especially noteworthy. This is northern-most known occurrence of the species. The occurrence of the chrysopid species Peyerimhoffina gracilis (Schneider, 1851) in Russia is reliably confirmed for the first time by specimens from Krasnodar Region and Adygea. A larva of Dendroleon pantherinus (Fabricius, 1787) was found in the fruiting body of a tinder fungus, a previously unknown habitat, expanding our understanding of the ecology of its preimaginal phase. In total, 72 species of Neuroptera are known now from the North-Western Caucasus, 52 from Krasnodar Region and 24 from Adygea. The occurrence of the raphidiopteran species Xanothostigma xanthostigma (Schummel, 1832) in Krasnodar Region is new. In total four species of the order are known now from the North-Western Caucasus. Megaloptera is represented in this region by two species. Sialis zhiltzovae Vshivkova, 1985 is recorded from Krasnodar Region, Adygea and from Russia for the first time. Data on the distribution (including altitudinal) and phenology of three species of the family Panorpidae (Mecoptera) are significantly updated. Panorpa connexa McLachlan, 1869 is recorded for the first time from the North-Western Caucasus, and P. similis Esben-Petersen, 1915 is recorded for the first time from Krasnodar Region more...

Kamopanorpa aristovi Sukatsheva & Sinitshenkova sp. nov. (Fig. 1) Holotype. PIN, no 3695/141, part and counterpart of the caddisfly fore wing of good preservation. Etymology. The new species is named in memory of the late palaeoentomologist Daniil S. Aristov. Diagnosis. The fore wing of K. aristovi sp. nov. is of medium size, RS and M branching almost at the same level, the fork on R is absent, RS seven-branched. Locality and horizon. The Kostovaty site, Middle Urals, Udmurtya, right bank of the Kama River, 1.3 km upstream of the Kostovaty village and 6.4 km downstream of the Galevo pier. The deposits of Ilyinskaya Member in Lower Urzhum Formation of Urzhum Horizon are dated to the Middle Permian. Description. Fore wing rather narrow, length almost three times width, with greatest width at level of SC entering anterior wing margin. Anterior margin straight, apex broadly rounded. SC long, straight, ending in middle of third quarter of wing length. Costal area at wing base twice as wide as at wing apex, crossed by four crossveins. Subcostal area wide in its middle part, R straight, long, with very slight scooplike bend at apex. RS 1 simple, with straight crossvein r-rs 1+2. RS base at beginning of second quarter of wing length, RS seven-branched. RS 1+2 stem 2.6× as long as RS 3+4 stem. F 1 three-branched, F 2 four-branched. Additional fork on RS 2 of medium size, shorter than that on RS 4 and significantly longer than that on RS 3. F 1 fork 0,6× as long as F 2 fork. Cells DC and MC open. M with five branches, forks slightly distal to RS fork almost at the middle of wing. M 2, M 3 and M 4 simple. M 1 bifurcation short, almost equal in length to its trunk. CuA fork of same size as M 1 fork. Long arcuate cross vein m 3+4 -cua 1+2 present. Y-shaped vein not visible. CuP simple, short, entering wing trailing margin separately from A 1. A 2 long, 0.76× as long as A 1 and 2.6× so as A 3. Anal field narrow. Wing membrane with no coloration. Wing length 8.0 mm, width 3.5 mm. Remarks. According to the type of branching of RS and M (almost at the same level), the size of the forewing, the absence of a fork on R the described new species is closest to K. grossa Novokshonov, 1993 from the same locality of Kostovaty, differing from it in the much longer stems of R 1+4 and M 1 +3 and an open DC. The new species differs from all other species of the genus Kamopanorpa, including K. grossa, by its seven-branched RS (Martynov, 1933; Sukatsheva, 1976: Novokshonov, 1992, 1993; Sukatsheva & Aristov, 2017)., Published as part of SUKATSHEVA, IRINA D. & SINITSHENKOVA, NINA D., 2023, A new caddisfly species Kamopanorpa aristovi sp. nov. of the family Microptysmatidae (Insecta, Trichoptera) from the Middle Permian of Udmurtya, Russia, pp. 120-123 in Palaeoentomology 6 (2) on pages 120-121, DOI: 10.11646/palaeoentomology.6.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/7942954, {"references":["Novokshonov, V.

Neopanorpa exaggerata sp. n. Chinese vernacular name: KDḿffiẘ (Figs 1, 2) Etymology. The specific epithet, “ exaggerata ” (exaggerate) pertains to the EEAS of the male. Participle. Diagnosis. This new species superficially resembles Leptopanorpa spp. by the EEAS. However, it can be readily differentiated from the latter by the following characters: in males, 1) epandrium lacking a median projection at apex (Fig. 2F, cf. present); 2) epandrial lobe greatly developed (Fig. 2J, cf. small); 3) parameres slender (Fig. 2K, cf. usually enlarged and thick); 4) ventral aedeagal valves conspicuous (Fig. 2K, cf. greatly reduced); 5) lateral processes of piston of sperm pump short, not reaching lateral processes (Fig. 2L, cf. elongated and reaching lateral processes); and in females, 6) axis of medigynium straight (Fig. 2N, cf. usually curved dorsad). This new species also closely resembles some congeners in the Neopanorpa pielina group sensu Wang & Hua 2021, e.g., N. diancangshanensis Wang & Hua, 2018, N. tenuis Zhou, 2000, and N. tibetensis Hua & Chou, 1999, etc., but can be readily differentiated by the unmatched length of the male abdomen. The female superficially resembles that of N. diancangshanensis and N. tibetensis in the general appearance, especially the branched pterostigmal band in fore- and hindwings, but can be differentiated from the latter by the axis of medigynium longer than posterior arms (Fig. 2N, cf. shorter). Type series. CHINA: Yunnan Province: Holotype ♁ (DALU-CN22 Pa 00800), riverbank of Bajiang River, 24.666°N, 103.1950°E, 1600 m, Shilin Yi Autonomous County, Kunming Prefecture, 30.vi.2022, leg.

Abdomen (Fig. 2A, D, E). Yellowish brown except dark brown at posterior margins of T1–T5, and most of T6. Notal organ (no in Fig. 2D, E) on posterior margin of T3 well-developed, rod-like, extending approximately to basal 1/3 of T4, and bearing several long setae at ventral apex. Postnotal organ (pno in Fig. 2E) on T4 slightly protuberated and bearing dense setae. A6 long cylindrical, as long as or slightly longer than A1–A5; A7 slender, approximately three times as long as A6, and trumpet-shaped at apex; A8 similar to A7 with approximate length; A9 approximately 3/5 as long as A8 with greatly elongated basal stalk proximal to genital bulb. Cerci (ce in Fig. 2F) long clavate. Male genitalia (Fig. 2F–L). Basal stalk of A9 greatly elongated and ranging from 1.1–1.3 times as long as genital bulb. Epandrium (ep in Fig. 2F) oblong with slightly emarginated apex. Epandrial lobes (epl in Fig. 2J) well-developed, subtrapezoidal, with triangular projections along ventral and caudal margins. Hypovalves (hv in Fig. 2G, J) narrow, slightly exceeding apex of gonocoxites (gcx in Fig. 2F), overlapped distally, and folded along outer margin. Subcircular window enclosed by constricted bases of two hypovalves (Fig. 2G). Hypandrial processes inconspicuous. Gonocoxites slightly widened toward truncated apex. Gonostyli (gs in Fig. 2F) slightly longer than gonocoxites, slender, with large basal process (bp in Fig. 2I) bearing long stout setae; each gonostylus sickleshaped in distal part; median tooth (mt in Fig. 2I) inconspicuous. Parameres (pm in Fig. 2K) slender, greatly curved inward and contacted mesally, and greatly divergent toward pointed apex. Each paramere attached to lateral process of aedeagus through slender dorsal bridge (dbr in Fig. 2K). Ventral and dorsal valves (vv and dv in Fig. 2K, L, respectively) of aedeagus closely aligned, and slightly tapering toward apex; lateral processes (lpr in Fig. 2K) of aedeagus stout with subacute apex. Piston (pst in Fig. 2L) of sperm pump subtriangular with short lateral processes (lpp in Fig. 2L). Description of female. Habitus (Fig. 2B) similar to males but bearing much shorter abdominal segments. Female genitalia. Subgenital plate (Fig. 2M) broad, suboval, with V-shaped terminal emargination, and bearing long stout setae marginally. Medigynium (Fig. 2N) slightly longer than subgenital plate; posterior arms (pa in Fig. 2N) slender; axis (ax) longer than posterior arms with divergent apodemes (ap). Distribution. China: Yunnan Province (Fig. 4). Biological Information. The new species was collected from a very limited spot (ca. 20 square meters, denoted by a red arrow in Fig. 1B) with dense ground covers along the riverbanks. Although the type locality is only a few kilometers away from densely populated villages and towns, it seemingly provides a relatively undisturbed and primordial sanctuary for this species to persist. However, this locality is surrounded by extensive infrastructure development (Fig. 1A shows a road construction site approximately hundreds of meters away) and agriculture activities (left part of Fig. 1B shows a nearby forest of the Chinese mahogany, Toona sinensis, which is cultivated as a local vegetable). Attempts to search for additional specimens in several adjacent regions were failed, despite their similar microhabitats. The very limited distribution, the scarcity of individuals, and the preference for dense herbaceous vegetation, are the probable reasons why this eye-catching scorpionfly has never been discovered before. On the site, individuals of N. exaggerata sp. n. often perch on the leaves of herbs or shrubs (Fig. 1C). Bearing a very long abdomen, the males seem bulky, and can only fly one or two meters away when disturbed. When at rest, the males usually hold their A7–A9 backward, forming a distinct triangular posture (Fig. 1C), superficially resembling that of Leptopanorpa spp. from Indonesia (Wang & Hua 2020). The females, however, fly with more agility owing to a much shorter abdomen (measures ca. 1/3 of the smallest male and 1/6 of the largest). The gonostyli of male N. exaggerata sp. n. appear to be a forceful weapon in the coercive mating, intrasexual disputes, and self-defense. Several wing membrane breakages were found in a female paratype (DALUCN22Pa00803, denoted by red arrows in Fig. 2B), suggesting that the female’s right wings may have been coercively grasped and damaged by a male’s gonostyli during copulation. In addition, three black spots (melanized wounds) have been photographed in a male (not in the type series, Fig. 1C), suggesting that the gonostyli can possibly be used as a combat weapon in the intra-sexual disputes. When a male scorpionfly is captured with fingers, it aggressively attacks the collector’s skin using its gonostyli, the same self-defensive action as other male scorpionflies (Wang & Hua 2022)., Published as part of Wang, Ji-Shen, 2023, Evolving longer for a mate: A new scorpionfly (Mecoptera: Panorpoidea: Panorpidae) with exaggeratedly elongated male abdominal segments, pp. 109-118 in Zootaxa 5264 (1) on pages 110-114, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5264.1.7, http://zenodo.org/record/7836260, {"references":["Wang, J. - S. & B. - Z.

MECOPTERA ,WINDFALL (Forestry) ,HEMEROBIIDAE ,RAPHIDIOPTERA ,FOREST fires - Abstract
The mid-term impact of forest fires and windthrows on species compositions in the insect orders Neuroptera, Raphidioptera, and Mecoptera was assessed in Swiss forests using standardized flight interception traps. For 50 species the abundances in intact control plots were compared to those in moderately or strongly disturbed forest stands. The catches were combined over four forest disturbance projects, ranging from windthrows in alpine spruce forests and lowland deciduous forests to winter forest fires in Southern Switzerland and a large summer fire in southwestern Switzerland. As a result, 82% of the 50 species benefited from the disturbance and became more abundant in the years after the fire or windthrow. More species (19) had their maximum abundance in intermediately disturbed plots than in heavily disturbed forests (17). Only 11 species, mainly Hemerobiidae and Coniopterygidae, peaked in the undisturbed forest stands. The species are listed per impact and ranked as winners (more than 66% specimens per treatment collected in disturbed forest plots), losers (more than 66% specimens per treatment in undisturbed forest plots), and indifferent species. An additional 29 species that were too scarce for an assessment are listed in Appendix 1. We conclude that for Neuropterida and Mecoptera catastrophic incidences are natural ecological events which create new habitats and by this foster their occurrence and abundance.

Species of scorpionfly (Mecoptera) in the family Panorpidae perform wing-waving behaviors, whereby they rotate their front and rear wings at the same time. Previous studies have suggested that a male, which carries food for use as nuptial gifts for females, performs the wing-waving behavior when the male gives the gift to a female or competes with other males. However, when and how the wing-waving behavior occurs during a series of nuptial giftings and male–male competitions have not been investigated. Therefore, we here observed the role of wing-waving behavior during the processes of giving nuptial gifts and male–male competition in the Japanese scorpionfly Panorpa japonica in the laboratory and field. Unlike previous studies, only males performed wing-waving behavior toward females, while females did not exhibit the behavior in the wild. Also, males always performed wing-waving behavior before male–male competition. After a male–male competition, winner males continued wing-waving behavior, but loser males never performed the behavior against the winner male. A comparison of wing-waving behaviors before competitions between winner and loser males showed that the frequencies of wing-waving behaviors were higher in winner than in loser males. The present results suggest that the wing-waving behavior functions in the inter-sexual and intra-sexual selection in P. japonica.

Two new species of Itaphlebia Sukatsheva, 1985, I. procerasp. nov. and I. eleganasp. nov., are described and illustrated from the latest Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Daohugou, Inner Mongolia, China. Based on fossil specimens with wings, these new species are established and assigned to Itaphlebia by a combination of three forewing characters: Sc with three branches ending at C, the four-branched Rs (R2 to R5) originating distad of M (vs. three-branched RS (R2+3 undivided) in all other fossil and extant nannochoristids), and M forking with four branches; and a hind wing character of Sc simple and short, terminating at C well before the pterostigma. Furthermore, this is the first report of long and robust setae present on the anal veins of the forewing for I. eleganasp. nov. in fossil Nannochoristidae. more...

XII.1911.”; “4”; “ Boreus hiemalis Linnaeus ”, [2.- 20.12.1911,?]. Remarks: Majewski (1885) reported this species as “pospol. w całym kraju” [common throughout the country], meaning former territories of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, which were separated in that time between the Russian and Austro-Hungarian Empires (including Halychyna within the current territory of Ukraine). Penny (1977) mentioned this species from the former territory of Poland, presumably based on previously published historical data. This idea is also confirmed by a published map on figure 81, where one of the distributional points is situated in the western part of Ukraine, close to the Carpathians.

Remarks: The species name P. leopoliensis [with author’ remark “ mihi in litt. Lwów (w maju) ”] was used for the first time in the paper published by (Dziędzielewicz 1867: 162) and should be recognized as a nomen nudum. Later, Dziędzielewicz (1891: 49) reported the similarity of P. leopoliensis with P. communis, and opted to not describe the first species because the specimens were soured. In later contribution, Dziędzielewicz (1905: 113) added more information about ecology and distribution of P. leopoliensis in the Gorgany Mountains. Almost four decades later, Farbotko (1929b: 4) suggested the identity of P. leopoliensis and P. communis based on analysis of J. Dziędzielewicz’s publication from 1891. In Majewski (1882, 1885) a few different species of Panorpa most probably are treated under the single species name P. communis. The record from Kamyanets-Podilskyi in Dziędzielewicz (1891) is published based on Belke (1859). It is probable that many older records, as well as part of the material in this work from SMNH, belong to P. vulgaris (see comments under that species)., Published as part of Dvořák, Libor, Mariychuk, Ruslan, Manko, Peter, Oboňa, Jozef, Krzemiński, Wiesław & Godunko, Roman J., 2022, Present knowledge on Mecoptera of Ukraine, pp. 459-483 in Zootaxa 5141 (5) on pages 469-470, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5141.5.3, http://zenodo.org/record/6593148, {"references":["Linnaeus, C.

Remarks: Majewski’s (1882) report is based on a previous paper of Dziędzielewicz (1867). At the same time, a few records published by Dziędzielewicz (1868) belong to the personal communication of A. Wiezejski. Majewski (1885) reported this species from “Naddniestrze” [Transnistria] meaning the Podillya Region. Martynova (1959) mentioned this species from Ukraine based on specimens housed in the collection of the Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences (former ZIN, AS USSR). Distributional data reported by Rizun et al. (2000) are based on faunistical information published by Belke (1859), Dziędzielewicz (1868, 1889), Wierzejski (1868) and Łomnicki (1877a), as well as results of SMNH collection determination. Altogether five specimens were mentioned from this collection: (1) from Podillya region (catalogue number Е 21.01.01.01/3); (2) from Melnytsya-Podilska (21.01.01.01/1); (3–4) from Rosokhach (Е 21.01.01.01/2 and Е 21.01.01.01/4) [all collected by J. Dziędzielewicz]; (5) from Mezhyhirtsi (Е 21.01.01.01/5) [collected by an anonymous author in 11.VIII.1933] (Rizun et al. 2000)., Published as part of Dvořák, Libor, Mariychuk, Ruslan, Manko, Peter, Oboňa, Jozef, Krzemiński, Wiesław & Godunko, Roman J., 2022, Present knowledge on Mecoptera of Ukraine, pp. 459-483 in Zootaxa 5141 (5) on pages 466-467, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5141.5.3, http://zenodo.org/record/6593148, {"references":["Muller, O.

Reviewed material: SMNH collection: 1 ♂, E21.01.01.02/01: “Poturzyca Lom. 8-9. wielki las.”; “ Panorpa cognata Rambur, 1842 det.

Remarks: Majewski (1882, 1885) indicated a questionable record of “ Panorpa fasciata F. (?)” previously published by Belke (1859) together with other representatives of the genus Panorpa. Dziędzielewicz (1891) also reported “ P.? fasciata Fab. ” as a questionable species based on G. Belke’s information, and suggested that the record belongs to P. cognata. At present, the name P. fasciata is a synonym of P. americana Swederus, which is restricted to the U.S.A. (Penny & Byers 1979).

Remarks: The determination of materials listed by Dziędzielewicz (1914) was confirmed by František Klapálek. All records mentioned by Svensson (1972) are based on the summarized publication of Dziędzielewicz (1918) and listed under Poland. Penny (1977) did not report this species from Ukraine on published distributional maps. Fudakowski (1923) reported two additional localities of this species, one from the Tatra Mountains and the second from the western part of the Roztochchya Region within the current territory of Poland. B. westwoodi also occurs in the eastern part of Roztochchya belonging to Ukraine. Distributional data reported by Rizun et al. (2000) are based on faunistical information published in Red Book of Ukraine (1994), and results of SMNH collection determination; altogether seven specimens were mentioned (see also above): (1) Chornohora (catalogue number Е 21.02.01.01/7); (2) Kozmeshchyk (21.02.01.01/5); (3–5) Foreshchynka (Е 21.02.01.01/2, Е 21.02.01.01/3 and Е 21.02.01.01/4); (6) Turkul (Е 21.02.01.01/1) [collected by J.

(Panorpa alpina Ramb.) [sic!]: Dziędzielewicz 1918: 39 [distribution, ecology; Aulops in generic rank]; Farbotko 1929a: 3 [distribution, ecology] Taxonomic remarks: P. pseudoalpina was described by Nagler (1970) from Romania, and no records were published from other countries. Ward (1979) synonymised Panorpa variabilis Brauer, 1857, Panorpa antiporum Nagler, 1968, Panorpa pseudoalpina Nagler, 1970, Panorpa pura Klapálek 1906, Panorpa susteri Nagler 1970, and Panorpa plitvicensis Lauterbach, 1972 with P. alpina. This synonymy was not accepted by Willmann (2013) who treated P. pseudalpina as a subspecies of P. alpina. In this paper, we are following Ward’s results, as no scientific paper with contradictory opinion was published. On the other hand, WK found in SMNH collection several specimens which are in agreement with Nagler’s description of P. pseudoalpina. As the authors have insufficient material to study the variability in P. pseudoalpina and P. alpina in Ukraine, a conclusion regarding the identity of the specimens presented here cannot be made. The records are kept separate from the P. alpina records for other experts who may wish to carry out comparative studies. Published records: Angeliv, Anheliv, Anheliv, Bibrka, Buchach [Hai Buchatski], Buchach, Carpathians, Chomyak, Ciscarpathian region, Dnister, Hai Buchatski, Ivano-Frankove, Kolomyya, Lisna Slobidka, Lviv and Mykulychyn vicinities, Molodyatyn, Nezvysko, Peremyshlyany, steppic part of Podillya Region, mountain and premontane regions of the Carpathians, Ustechko, Varatyk near Pechenizhyn and south of Kolomyya, Yaremcha, Zubra near Lviv (Nowicki 1864, 1865; Dziędzielewicz 1867, 1883, 1891, 1905, 1918; Majewski 1882, 1885; Wierzejski 1883; Farbotko 1929a).
