A chromosomal investigation of four species of Chinese Panorpidae (Insecta, Mecoptera) [PDF]
Comparative Cytogenetics, 2013 The male adults of four species of the Chinese Panorpidae in Mecoptera were cytogenetically studied using conventional squashing procedures. The results show that their sex-chromosome system belongs to the XO type, with n = 19 + X(O) in Panorpa ...

The earliest fossil record of Panorpidae (Mecoptera) from the Middle Jurassic of China [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2014 The early history of Panorpidae (Mecoptera) is poorly known due to sparse fossil records. Up to date, only nine fossil species have been described, all from the Paleogene, except the Early Cretaceous Solusipanorpa gibbidorsa Lin, 1980.
