Abstract
A new species of the scorpionfly, Panorpa longihypovalva sp. nov., is described and illustrated from the Qinling‐Bashan Mountains, the dividing line between the Palearctic and the Oriental Regions in central China. The immature stages, including egg and larva, were obtained through rearing. Its biology and behaviour are briefly reported and illustrated.
