Panorpidae
The Panorpidae are a family of scorpionflies containing more than 480 species. The family is the largest family in Mecoptera, covering approximately 70% species of the order. Species range between 9–25 mm long. These insects have four membranous wings and threadlike antennae. Their elongated faces terminate with mouthparts that are used to feed on dead and dying insects, nectar, and rotting fruit. While in larval form, they scavenge by consuming dead insects on the ground.

Scorpionfly
Mecoptera (from the Greek: ''mecos'' = "long", ''ptera'' = "wings") is an order of insects in the superorder Endopterygota with about six hundred species in nine families worldwide. Mecopterans are sometimes called scorpionflies after their largest family, Panorpidae, in which the males have enlarged genitals raised over the body that look similar to the stingers of scorpions, and long beaklike rostra. The Bittacidae, or hangingflies, are another prominent family and are known for their elaborate mating rituals, in which females choose mates based on the quality of gift prey offered to them by the males. A smaller group is the snow scorpionflies, family Boreidae, adults of which are sometimes seen walking on snowfields. In contrast, the majority of species in the order inhabit moist environments in tropical locations. The Mecoptera are closely related to the Siphonaptera (fleas), and a little more distantly to the Diptera (true flies). They are somewhat fly-like in appearance, ...

''Dicerapanorpa'' is a genus of scorpionflies endemic to China.Zhong W and Hua BZ. (2013). ''Dicerapanorpa'', a new genus of East Asian Panorpidae (Insecta: Mecoptera: Panorpidae) with descriptions of two new species. Journal of Natural History, 47, 1019-1046. They can be easily recognized by the two anal horns on the posterior margin of the sixth tergum in males. The anal horns of ''Dicerapanorpa magna'' (Chou, 1981) are used to grasp the female's abdomen during mating.Zhong W, Ding G and Hua BZ. (2015).

Panorpa
''Panorpa'' is a genus of scorpion-flies that is widely dispersed, especially in the Northern hemisphere. However, they do not occur in western North America. Thirteen species occur in eastern Canada. About 260 species are described as of 2018. Larvae and adults feed on carrion. The species ''P. vulgaris'', has become a model insect for testing theories of sexual selection as its mating system has been noted to be similar to that of humans in some aspects. Studies show that both sexes of the species display mating preferences for direct (e.g. nuptial gifts) and indirect benefits (e.g. genetic benefits) to increase reproductive success. The production of nuptial gifts during copulation in males (e.g. salivary secretion) and high nutritional condition in females are indicators of "good foraging genes", an indirect benefit that individuals look for in their partners. These genetic benefits can increase fitness in offspring and improve their foraging ability. The life-cycle of ''P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jurassipanorpa
''Jurassipanorpa'' is a genus of fossil scorpionfly (order Mecoptera) containing two species described in 2014 from the Jiulongshan Formation of Inner Mongolia, China. The two species, ''J. impuctata'' and ''J. sticta'', lived in the late Middle Jurassic period. Upon description, they were claimed to represent the oldest known representatives of the scorpionfly family Panorpidae, but this was later questioned. Description ''Jurassipanorpa'' specimens measure up to 11 millimeters in body length, with wings reaching a maximum length of 14 mm. Both species have unique setae ("hairs") on the anal veins of the hindwings that are larger and more prominent than the fine setae found in all other panorpid scorpionflies. ''J. sticta'' differs from ''J. impuctata'' by the presence of spots and blotches on the wings: ''sticta'' derives from the Greek ''stiktos ''meaning spotted, while ''impunctata'' means "without spots" in Latin.

10th Edition Of Systema Naturae
The 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'' is a book written by Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus and published in two volumes in 1758 and 1759, which marks the starting point of zoological nomenclature. In it, Linnaeus introduced binomial nomenclature for animals, something he had already done for plants in his 1753 publication of '' Species Plantarum''. Starting point Before 1758, most biological catalogues had used polynomial names for the taxa included, including earlier editions of ''Systema Naturae''. The first work to consistently apply binomial nomenclature across the animal kingdom was the 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature therefore chose 1 January 1758 as the "starting point" for zoological nomenclature, and asserted that the 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'' was to be treated as if published on that date. Names published before that date are unavailable, even if they would otherwise satisfy the rules. The only ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
