Description

Panorpa tokunoshimaensis Nakamura, 2009

Figs 1I, 6

Panorpa tokunoshimaensis Nakamura, 2009: 340, figs 3, 18–23 (type locality: Tete Path, Amagi Town, Tokuno-shima, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan).

Diagnosis

This species is superficially similar to Panorpa amamiensis Miyamoto & Makihara, 1984 and Panorpa okinawaensis Nakamura, 2009, but can be readily differentiated from the latter two by the following characters: 1) male paramere bifurcated with both branches not exceeding apex of gonocoxites (cf. exceeding); and 2) female medigynium with axis shorter than half length of posterior arms (cf. longer).

Distribution

Japan: Ryukyu Islands (Tokuno-shima) (Fig. 6).
