Jurassipanorpa
Jurassipanorpa is a genus of fossil scorpionfly containing two species described in 2014 from the Jiulongshan Formation of Inner Mongolia, China. The two species, J. impuctata and J. sticta, lived in the late Middle Jurassic period. Upon description, they were claimed to represent the oldest known representatives of the scorpionfly family Panorpidae, but this was later questioned.
Description
Jurassipanorpa specimens measure up to 11 millimeters in body length, with wings reaching a maximum length of 14 mm.Both species have unique setae on the anal veins of the hindwings that are larger and more prominent than the fine setae found in all other panorpid scorpionflies.
J. sticta differs from J. impuctata by the presence of spots and blotches on the wings: sticta derives from the Greek stiktos meaning spotted, while impunctata means "without spots" in Latin.
