I certainly wouldn't like to rely on wing markings for
Panorpa ... they are variable enough in a number of species, so it doesn't look like it is a stable enough character. I prefer the genitalia differences (parameres?) but there are intermediates. At least with the genitalia you might get one that is clearly
P.vulgaris, in amongst the ones that are intermediate.
