Abstract: The Panorpidae is the most species-rich family in extant Mecoptera, mostly distributed in the Northern Hemisphere. This paper reports the first record of the genus Megapanorpa Wang & Hua, 2019 from Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces, China, involving M. jiangorum Wang & Hua, 2019 and M. yuebuqun sp. nov. Furthermore, three new species of the genus Neopanorpa van der Weele, 1909 are described from Yunnan: N. linghuchong sp. nov., N. renwoxing sp. nov., and N. yucanghai sp. nov. In addition, we further discuss the geographical patterns and systematic positions of these taxa.
