蝎蛉科(长翅目)昆虫雌性生殖系统构造及其在分类学上的意义

蝎蛉科Panorpidae6种蝎蛉的雌性生殖系统间存在显著差异,尤其是卵巢管数目、受精囊包膜颜色、附腺大小、及各部分相互间位置。卵巢管为多滋式,每个卵巢所含卵巢管数目在长瓣蝎蛉Panorpa longihypovalva Hua et Cai和路氏新蝎蛉Neopanorpa lui Chou et Ran中为10根,在大蝎蛉P.magna Chou中为16根,在太白蝎蛉P.obtusa Cheng中为18根,在染翅蝎蛉P.tincta Navas中有28根,在长白山蝎蛉P.changbaishana nom.nov.中,一个卵巢一般由8根卵巢管组成,而另一个经常为10根,表明在同一个体中有不对称性。长白山蝎蛉的受精囊包膜为红色,而其它种类透明。大蝎蛉附腺在6种蝎蛉中最大,几乎与卵巢等粗。表明雌性生殖系统可用于蝎蛉科的种类鉴别,并简要讨论了长翅目Mecoptera的系统发育关系。此外,长白山蝎蛉Panorpa changbaishana Hua是为Panorpa choui Hua,1998所提订的新名。

Structural variation in the genitalia of the Panorpa alpina-complex (Mecoptera)

Abstract. The genitalia of both males and females of the P.alpina-complex are highly variable, both within and between sites, and sometimes bilaterally asymmetric. On the basis of this variation five species are placed in synonymy with Panorpa alpina Rambur: antiporum Nagler; plitvicensis Lauterbach; pseudoalpina Nagler; pura Klapalek; susteri Nagler. The sub-genus Aulops is placed once again in synonymy with Panorpa.     

Life histories and mating system aspects of two Caucasian scorpionfly species: Panorpa similis Esben-Petersen and Panorpa connexa Mac Lachlan

Panorpa similis Esben-Petersen and Panorpa connexa MacLachlan are the most prominent Mecoptera in the Caucasian region. As our knowledge of mating systems and life histories of the different Panorpa species is unsatisfactory, it is the purpose of this contribution to add some interesting information on the life histories and mating behaviour of these two species. Further, we present results on successful breeding of these species, both in the field and the laboratory. Our data suggest that both species are monovoltine under the natural conditions in the Caucasian region, although our breeding experiments revealed a cryptic photoperiodic responsibility in a certain percentage of individuals of Panorpa connexa, which is completely absent in Panorpa similis. First, results on temporally and spatially differing foraging manners of the two species are presented. Male mating tactics of both species comprise copulations with one salivary mass as nuptial gift or copulations without any nuptial gift, but always without the use of force. This paper also gives information on egg deposition, egg hatching and larval development. Finally, we compare aspects of the mating systems for both species with those that have already been investigated for other Panorpa species.     

Two new species of Panorpa (Mecoptera,Panorpidae) from the Hengduan Mountains in Yunnan,China

Two new species of the genus Panorpa Linnaeus, 1758 are described from the Hengduan Mountains in Yunnan, China. Panorpa diqingensis sp. n. can be distinguished from its congeners by vertex dark brown, and occiput yellow; pleura dark brown; gonocoxites bearing a cluster of stout black setae on inner apex; parameres S-shaped in male genitalia. Panorpa dispergens sp. n. can be readily differentiated from other Panorpa species by apical band with a hyaline spot in wings; gonocoxites with a cluster of stout dark brown setae and 3–5 long setae on inner apex; female medigynium with a pair of basal plates. The number of Panorpa species in Yunnan is raised to six. A key to Yunnan species of Panorpa is presented.     

Morphological Variation of the Scorpionfly Panorpa obtusa Cheng (Mecoptera: Panorpidae) with a New Synonym

Background

The overabundance of synonyms is an unavoidable by-product of taxonomic practice in insects. How to reduce or even eliminate synonymy has long been a great challenge for insect taxonomists. The scorpionflies Panorpa obtusa Cheng, 1949 and Panorpa leei Cheng, 1949 (Insecta: Mecoptera: Panorpidae) were originally described from Taibaishan in the Qinling Mountains with identical collection data and both are based on a single gender, the former on a male and the latter on two females. However, whether P. leei is conspecific with P. obtusa or a good species remains an unsolved problem.

Results

On the basis of intensive morphological comparison of 93 males and 53 females of scorpionflies collected from the type locality using light and scanning electron microscopy, we found P. obtusa has considerable morphological variation (especially the wing markings and genitalia in both male and female), and Panorpa leei is totally comprised of one of the morphs of P. obtusa.

Conclusions

In combination with identical type localities and overlapping morphological variation, P. leei Cheng is proposed as a junior subjective synonym of P. obtusa Cheng. To avoid synonyms, taxonomists should pay more attention to individual variation and base decisions on a series of specimens to describe new species.     

PANORPIDAE (MECOPTERA) IN XIZANG, CHINA, WITH DESCRIPTION OF THREE NEW SPECIES OF THE GENUS NEOPANORPA

Abstract  Three new species of the genus Neopanorpa Weele are described and illustrated from Xizang in China. The previously reported three species from Xizang, Panorpa guttata Navas, P. davidi Navas, and P. stigmalis Navas, are verified to distribute in Sichuan Province, instead of in Xizang. The type specimens are deposited in Northwest Agricultural University and China Agricultural University separately. A key to the Tibetan species of Neopanorpa is provided.
