Abstract: Neopanorpa van der Weele, 1909 is the second largest genus in the scorpionfly family Panorpidae, next to Panorpa Linnaeus, 1758, and is mostly endemic to the Oriental Region. Four Chinese-endemic species are currently recognized in the N. brisi group sensu Wang & Hua, 2021 (two in Yunnan). In this paper, two new species are described as new: N. daguanensis sp. nov. and N. kinnara sp. nov. These new discoveries enrich the known species number of the N. brisi group from two to four in Yunnan Province, and four to six in the entire group.

摘要：新蝎蛉属Neopanorpa van der Weele, 1909是蝎蛉科中仅次于蝎蛉属Panorpa Linnaeus, 1758的第二大属，主要分布于东洋区。目前，中国特有的布里斯种团N. brisi group中已知有四个物种（其中两个在云南有分布）。本文描述了两个新种：大关新蝎蛉N. daguanensis sp. nov.和紧那罗新蝎蛉N. kinnara sp. nov.。这些发现将云南省内布里斯种团的物种数量从2个提升为4个，整个种团的物种数量从4个增加至6个。
