Abstract

I correct the publication dates for one genus and 14 species of Mecoptera (1 choristid, 4 bittacids, and 9 panorpids), and resurrect Panorpa confusa Westwood, 1841. Additionally, I provide a nomenclatural and taxonomic summary for these taxa, and a publication history for all of Westwood’s related publications.
