Family of insects
The Panorpodidae are a small family of scorpionflies. Of the two genera, "Brachypanorpa" occurs only in the United States, and "Panorpodes" occurs in East Asia, with a single species in California. Unlike their sister group Panorpidae, the family generally has short jaws, amongst the shortest of all mecopterans. "Brachypanorpa" is thought to be phytophagous, consuming the epidermis of soft leaves, and a similar diet is suggested for "Panorpodes".
