03B61D68C67B3926FF793B092D1BF93B.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Previously known only from the Russian Far East, this species is recorded in China for the first time. In China, it was found in the Fenglin National Nature Reserve, located on the northern section of the southern slope of Lesser Khingan Mountains in northeast Heilongjiang Province.	en	Cao, Zhishan, Murányi, Dávid, Yang, Ding, Li, Weihai (2025): A new combination and a new record of Capniidae (Plecoptera) from northeast China.

03B61D68C67B3926FF793B092D1BF93B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species was also collected from the Lesser Khingan (Xiao Hinggan Range), the same mountain range as mentioned in Teslenko (2019). Based on the structure of the epiproct that divided longitudinally into ventral and dorsal halves, and the presence of the posteromedial process on male tergum 7, C. khingana was provisionally assigned to the C. atra species group (Zhiltzova 2001; Teslenko, 2019). However, upon examination of its visible characters, it was identified as a member of genus Capniella, instead of a member of genus Capnia for the following reasons. Forewing: R 1 vein strongly curved, A 1 vein straight, typical of Capniella (Fig. 1 a). There are slight differences in curvature of the A 1 in forewing from that described in Teslenko (2019), but such differences of curvature of the A 1 veins had been already suggested Capniella (Murányi et al. 2014). Hindwing is generally similar to the types (Fig. 1 b). The male subgenital plate is weakly fused with the base of the sternum 9, and the base of the sternum is weakly fused with the tergum as well (Fig. 2 a – c), however, those are also widely fused in Capnia sensu stricto (Fig. 2 e). The fusion plate is very broad (Fig. 2 d), a character typical in Capniella, whereas the plate is medium wide in Capnia sensu stricto (Fig. 2 e). The lower portion of the main sclerite is sclerotized, basally narrowing and long, apex weakly sclerotized and hook curved upward then downward with a wide and blunt apex (Fig. 3 a – b) which is not clearly described and shown in original illustrations in Teslenko (2019); in fact, that character is most closely related to Capniella gibba Hwang, Li & Murányi, 2021.	en	Cao, Zhishan, Murányi, Dávid, Yang, Ding, Li, Weihai (2025): A new combination and a new record of Capniidae (Plecoptera) from northeast China.

03B61D68C6793920FF793AA228A7FE1F.taxon	description	Female (Figs. 4 – 6). Forewing length 6.9 mm (n = 1). Body generally dark brown. Head slightly wider than pronotum; compound eyes black, three ocelli each with obscure dark margins (Fig. 4 a). Precoxal bridge fused with basisternum; furcasternum fused with basisternum and furcasternal arms (Fig. 4 b). Wings macropterous, subhyaline with brown venation; forewings with two costal cross veins before end of Sc (Fig. 5). Sternum 8 medially membranous, subgenital plate deeply incised, and the sclerotized portion flush with the preceding membrane, lateral sclerites subtriangular with rounded angles (Fig. 6 c).	en	Cao, Zhishan, Murányi, Dávid, Yang, Ding, Li, Weihai (2025): A new combination and a new record of Capniidae (Plecoptera) from northeast China.

03B61D68C6793920FF793AA228A7FE1F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species was originally described from Mongolia (Joost, 1970) and has also been documented throughout the Russian Far East (Zenger & Baumann 2004). This is the first record of this species, and the fourth species of this genus recorded from China (Yang & Du 2024). Sternum 8 simply and straightly truncate but exhibits a typical blunt V-shaped pattern (Fig. 6 a). There are some slight variations in the female subgenital plate. Sternum 8 with membranous pale area at medial portion anteriorly. Subgenital plate is reduced, forming only a semicircular median sclerite on the posterior margin of sternum 8, accompanied by a pair of lateral sclerites. Sternum 9 with two sclerotized spots on each lateral portion (comparing Figs. 6 c – d with Fig. 6 b). The subgenital plate of this female are generally in close agreement with the illustrations in Teslenko (2009). And there is a minor difference with the original illustrations (Joost 1970). However, the general shape in outline is identical and hence considered here as intraspecific variation.	en	Cao, Zhishan, Murányi, Dávid, Yang, Ding, Li, Weihai (2025): A new combination and a new record of Capniidae (Plecoptera) from northeast China.
