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 ...

Morphological diversity of male salivary glands in Panorpidae (Mecoptera) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2011 The morphology of the male salivary glands of eighteen species of Panorpidae from China was studied using light microscopy. The results show that the male salivary glands differ markedly both at generic and specific levels.
