Panorpidae
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Automated taxobox".
The Panorpidae are a family of scorpionflies containing more than 480 species. The family is the largest family in Mecoptera, covering approximately 70% species of the order.[1] Species range between 9–25 mm long.[2]
These insects have four membranous wings and threadlike antennae. Their elongated faces terminate with mouthparts that are used to feed on dead and dying insects, nectar, and rotting fruit. While in larval form, they scavenge by consuming dead insects on the ground.[3]

Fossil record
The oldest known species was previously suggested to be Jurassipanorpa from the Jiulongshan Formation of Inner Mongolia, China.[5] However, this was later considered an incorrect attribution, making the oldest known records of the family currently from the Eocene, including the extinct genus Baltipanorpa as well as the living genus Panorpa.[6]

However, preliminary revision of the holotype of Jurassipanorpa impunctata Ding, Shih & Ren, 2014, as well as additional new materials, shows that the species is not a member of the Panorpidae (Soszyńska-Maj et al. in prep.).
