Taxonomic revision and phylogenetic analysis of the enigmatic scorpionfly genus Leptopanorpa MacLachlan (Mecoptera: Panorpidae)

Abstract: The representatives of the enigmatic genus Leptopanorpa MacLachlan are characterized by exaggeratedly elongated male abdomens and are likely endemic to Java and Sumatra, Indonesia. Here, we present a taxonomical revision of 14 species of Leptopanorpa, including two new species: Leptopanorpa linyejiei sp. n. from West Java and Leptopanorpa majapahita sp. n. from East Java. A key to species of Leptopanorpa is provided. Leptopanorpa sieboldi MacLachlan is treated as a junior synonym of Leptopanorpa charpentieri (… Show more

“…According to a molecular phylogenetic analysis [22], Neopanorpa is the sister taxon with all other genera of Panorpidae. However, Neopanorpa is considered paraphyletic with Leptopanorpa based on another molecular phylogenetic analysis [23] and morphological phylogeny [20]. Based on our present mitogenome phylogenetic study, Neopanorpa forms a sister taxon with Furcatopanorpa.…”

“…Through a recent molecular phylogenetic analysis, however, Neopanorpa was confirmed a sister taxon to all other genera of Panorpidae excluding Leptopanorpa [22]. Based on a maximum parsimony analysis, Leptopanorpa is nested with Neopanorpa [20]. This means that the phylogenetic relationships of Panorpidae have not been satisfactorily resolved to date.…”

“…and Sinopanorpa Cai & Hua (3 spp.). The Panorpidae are widely dispersed in the subtropical and temperate zones of Eurasia and North America (Penny & Byers, 1979; Wang & Hua, 2017, 2018, 2019a,b; Bicha, 2018; Wang et al ., 2019; Hu & Hua, 2020), with a number of species penetrating into the equatorial zones, e.g ., the Indian Western Ghats, the Mainland Southeast Asia, the Sunda Islands and the Mexican Plateau (Rust & Byers, 1976; Chau & Byers, 1978; Penny & Byers, 1979; Wang & Hua, 2020).…”

“…Leptopanorpa MacLachlan, 1875 (with 14 spp.) is restricted to Java and Sumatra of Indonesia (Wang & Hua 2020). The remaining five genera (Sinopanorpa Cai & Hua, 2008, Furcatopanorpa Ma & Hua, 2011, Dicerapanorpa Zhong & Hua, 2013, Cerapanorpa Gao, Ma & Hua, 2016and Megapanorpa Wang & Hua, 2019 are endemic to China (Cai et al 2008;Zhong & Hua 2013;Hu et al 2015;Gao et al 2016;Miao et al 2019;.…”
