( Fig. 8 ) Etymology. The new species is dedicated to the ethic group Hani, which lives in the type locality: Zhenyuan, Yunnan , China . Noun in apposition. Diagnosis. The new species is similar to Panorpa kunmingensis Fu & Hua, 2009 in the wing markings reduced to spots and the deeply emarginated male A6, but can be differentiated from the latter by the following characters: 1) male hypandrium with basal stalk greatly reduced and shorter than half length of hypovalves ( cf . longer than hypovalves); and 2) female medigynium with posterior arms stout and shorter than main plate ( cf . slender and longer than main plate). Type series. CHINA : Yunnan : Zhenyuan : Holotype ♂ (CN20Pa00100), forest near Zhalong Village , 1930 m , 24°02’33’’ N 101°09’06’’ E , 24.viii.2020 , leg. Dan-Chen Zhu ; paratypes 1♂ 2♀ (CN20Pa00101– CN20Pa00103), same data. Measurements. Male: AtL 9.2 mm , AbL 8.3 mm , BL 12.0 mm, FL 10.6 mm , FW 2.6 mm , HL 9.6 mm , HW 2.5 mm ; Female: AbL 8.0 mm, BL 11.4 mm , FL 10.4 mm , FW 2.6 mm , HL 9.4 mm , HW 2.5 mm . Description-male. Head . Vertex, occiput and rostrum yellowish brown, ocellar triangle enclosed by subpentagonal black pattern. Wings . Membrane hyaline and tinged with yellowish brown, markings dark brown. Forewing with apical band broad, vague, and interrupted by two or three hyaline spots; pterostigmal band reduced at posterior half, with two detached spots along hind margin as basal and apical branches; basal band reduced to small spot above ending of 1A; marginal spot small; basal spot absent; 1A ending far beyond level of ORs; and two cross-veins between 1A and 2A. Hindwings similar to forewings but with basal band and apical branch of pterostigmal band absent. FIGURE 8. Panorpa hani Wang , sp. n. A, C–F. Male; B, G & H. Female. A & B. Habitus, dorsal view; C & D. A6–A8, dorsal and left-lateral views, respectively; E. Genital bulb, ventral view; F. Aedeagal complex, ventral view; G. Subgenital plate, ventral view; H. Medigynium, ventral view. Abdomen . T1–T5 dark brown, with pale, continuous median stripe extending from T1 to T5. A6 yellowish brown, cylindrical, with deep V-shaped emargination on dorsal apex, and forming pair of triangular lobes laterally. A7 and A8 yellowish brown, A7 nearly cylindrical and greatly humped on dorsal apex, A8 constricted basally and beveled apically. Male genitalia . Genital bulb yellowish brown, oval. Epandrium extending beyond middle of gonostylus, slightly tapering towards apex, with deep U-shaped terminal emargination and forming two parallel finger-like processes. Hypandrium Y-shaped and approximately 3/4 as long as gonocoxites, with greatly reduced basal stalk shorter than half length of hypovalves. Hypovalves narrow, divergent, with sparse long bristles along inner margin. Gonostyli shorter than half length of gonocoxites, with disc-shaped basal lobe and subtriangular median tooth. Parameres bifurcated, with both branches greatly curved, acute at apex, and covered with numerous microtrichia; ventral branch approximately 1/4 as long as dorsal branch and with subapical thorn on outer margin; dorsal branch slightly lobate with subapical notch on inner side, and bending outwards apically. Ventral aedeagal valves membranous and rounded; dorsal processes slender, greatly elongated, nearly parallel, and slightly divergent apically. Description-female. Similar to males in general appearance, but with denser markings. Female genitalia . Subgenital plate oblong with nearly truncated apex and sparse long setae on distal margin. Medigynium with broad main plate approximately 2/3 as long as axis; posterior arms very short, stout and approximately 1/5 as long as main plate; apodemes of axis greatly divergent. Distribution.
