“…The widespread distribution of Meropeidae corroborates the fact that the family arose when all continents were connected. In fact, the current global distribution of the mecopteran family Bittacidae (Penny 2012) as well as the presence of some Mecoptera fossils from the Permiam period (290-248 MYA), also when all the continents were united (Grimaldi and Engel 2005), further corroborate this hypothesis. The similarities between the 3 extant species of Meropeidae suggest that despite the early bifurcation and the current distribution of the family, the evolution of the group was very conservative, as mentioned by Byers (1973).…”

A new species of Meropeidae (Mecoptera) from Brazil, Austromerope brasiliensis sp. n., is described, representing only the 3rd extant species described in this family and the 1st record of the family from the Neotropical region. The distribution and biogeography of the family are discussed and we propose that Meropeidae originated before continental drift and then divided into two branches, northern and southern, with the breakup of Pangea. Identification keys for the Neotropical families of Mecoptera and for the species of Meropeidae are provided.

A new species of Panorpidae, Panorpabashanicolasp. n., is described and illustrated from the Bashan Mountains in central China. The new species is characterized by the following characters: vertex black, with two pale longitudinal stripes and four pale rounded spots; vein 1A ending before the origin of Rs; meso- and metanotum pale, and the pale color extending to tergum III in V-shape; male epandrium emarginate distally in deep U-shape; hypovalves without basal stalk, completely represented by a pair of short hypovalves, extending to distal third of gonocoxite, with five black stout setae in distal portion; paramere simple, S-shaped; a bundle of long hairs between dorsal and ventral valves of aedeagus; dorsal valves of aedeagus much longer than ventral valves and curved ventrally, with distal portion foot-shaped; female medigynium twice as long as wide, with stout axis extending over one-third its length beyond main plate.
