“…However, the interspecific relationships are not satisfactorily resolved in Cerapanorpa (Figs. 15, 16), probably due to their short divergence history (Miao et al ., 2017, 2019; Hu et al ., 2019) and great morphological resemblances (Gao et al ., 2016; Gao & Hua, 2019) among the congeners. This situation is also present in Dicerapanorpa , Megapanorpa and Sinopanorpa .…”

“…Based on our cladistic analysis, however, the N. denticulata group likely split from other members earlier than the N. chillcotti group. Given the East Asian origin and the relatively weak dispersal ability of the Panorpidae (Byers, 1988; Miao et al ., 2017; Hu et al ., 2019), the spreading of the common ancestor of the N. denticulata group to the Indian subcontinent was unlikely earlier than the collision between India and Eurasia that began 55.0 mya (Aitchison et al ., 2007). The Himalayan fauna is heterogeneous by composing the N. chillcotti group (ca.…”

Panorpidae is the largest family of Mecoptera with approximately 500 described species in one extinct and eight extant genera. The phylogeny of Panorpidae was inferred from DNA sequences recently, but has not been comprehensively studied based on morphological characters to date. Here, the phylogeny of Panorpidae was analysed for 155 extant species in eight genera based on 182 morphological characters of adults under Maximum Parsimony and Maximum Likelihood, respectively, with two species of Choristidae and three species of Panorpodidae as outgroups. The resulting phylogenetic trees are overall consistent with those reconstructed in the molecular analyses, and support the monophyly of two major clades and all the extant genera except Panorpa and Neopanorpa, which may need further splitting. A new subfamily, Neopanorpinae subfam.n., is established to include Neopanorpa and Leptopanorpa, with all the other genera assigned to Panorpinae. Thirty‐two species groups (24 in Panorpa and eight in Neopanorpa) are recognized. We speculate that Panorpidae likely originated from East Asia, with independent dispersal events that probably occurred at least twice for the Indonesian fauna, five times for the Japanese fauna, twice for the western Palearctic fauna, and four times for the Nearctic fauna.

“…In the taxa in which males have the sharp teeth, the genital segments of females often have conspicuous 'brown scars'. In Dicerapanorpa species, the scars occur on the female medigynium and subgenital plate and are melanized and often scabbed and extensive over the surface [35][36][37]. However, it remains unknown whether the female wounds are inflicted by the male's sharp teeth during mating.…”

Traumatic mating is the male wounding his mate during mating using specialized anatomy. However, why males have evolved to injure their mates during mating remains poorly understood. We studied traumatic mating in Dicerapanorpa magna to determine its effects on male and female fitness. The sharp teeth on male gonostyli penetrate the female genitalia and cause copulatory wounds, and the number of scars on the female genitals is positively related to the number of times females mated. When the injurious teeth were encased with low-temperature wax, preventing their penetration of the female's genitalia during mating, male mating success and copulation duration were reduced significantly, indicating the importance of the teeth in allowing the male to secure copulation, remain in copula and effectively inseminate his mate. The remating experiments showed that traumatic mating had little effect on the female mating refractory period, but significantly reduced female remating duration with subsequent males, probably benefiting the first-mating male with longer copulation duration and transferring more sperm into the female's spermatheca. The copulatory wounds reduced female fecundity, but did not accelerate the timing of egg deposition. This is probably the first report that traumatic mating reduces female remating duration through successive remating experiments in animals. Overall, our results provide evidence that traumatic mating in the scorpionfly helps increase the male's anchoring control during mating and provides him advantage in sperm competition, but at the expense of lowering female fecundity.

“…The species of Dicerapanorpa are distributed in the Hengduan Mountains and the adjacent Qinling-Bashan Mountains (Fig. 1), and can be categorized into two groups (Hu & Hua 2019;Hu et al 2019a, 2019b, 2019c). The D. magna group is restricted to the Qinling, Bashan, and Minshan Mountains, and is characterized by the yellowish wing membrane with distinct wing markings and the rostrum without distinct lateral stripes.…”

The current knowledge of the scorpionfly genus Dicerapanorpa Zhong & Hua, 2013 is taxonomically reviewed. Two new species of Dicerapanorpa are described and illustrated, increasing the species number of this genus to 20. Dicerapanorpa bifurcata sp. nov. from the Minshan Mountains, Sichuan Province, is characterized by the absence of the paramere basal branch and the elongated mesal branch in males, and the medigynium having a short basal stalk in females. Dicerapanorpa zhengkuni sp. nov. from the Wuling and Miaoling Mountains, Guizhou Province, is distinguishable by the greatly elongated hypovalves, the very short basal branch of the paramere, and the dorsomedially curved lateral branch in males, and the rounded main plate of the medigynium in females. An updated key to species of Dicerapanorpa is presented.
