Capnia

Murányi, Dávid, Li, Weihai & Yang, Ding, 2015, A new genus and species of winter stoneflies (Plecoptera: Capniidae) from Southwest China, with a commented checklist of the family in the Oriental Realm, Zootaxa 4059 (2), pp. 371-382 : 380

Capnia s.l., isolated species:

Besides the obvious species groups presently retained in the temporary classification as Capnia sensu lato, several isolated or poorly known species are also treated as Capnia s.l. ( Murányi et al. 2014). There are several in Palaearctic mainland Asia and Japan, but only one in the Oriental Realm. A further poorly known species, C. s.l. storkani Šámal, 1935 was described from nearby Palaearctic areas of the Tien Shan ranges (Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China).

Capnia s.l. gibbera Jewett, 1960

Jewett 1960: description of male, holotype and paratype from Himachal Pradesh State of India: Lahaul and Spiti District.

On the basis of the incomplete description, this species cannot be included in any defined species group or nominal

genera of Capniidae . Known only from the two male type specimens.

Several Capniidae data were reported from the Himalayas without specific identification: Bagmati zone of Nepal ( Zwick & Sivec 1980: Capnia sp. larvae), Gilgit-Baltistan territory of Pakistan ( Kawai 1963: Capnia sp. larvae), Himachal Pradesh State of India ( Jewett 1958: Capnia sp. larvae), Jammu and Kashmir State of India ( Vos 1935: Capnia sp. larvae), Sagarmantha zone of Nepal ( Boggero et al. 2014: Capnia sp. larvae), Tibet Autonomous Region of China ( Kimmins 1946: Capnia sp. 1♀). Most of these are probably belong to the cordata or pedestris species groups.
