Distribution and biology. China (Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong); Vietnam. The nymphs ( Fig. 59 View FIGURES 50–59 ) are usually found in slow current reaches of clean mountain streams ( Fig. 67 View FIGURE 67 ) and sometimes with substantial populations on the stone surfaces as indicated from the specimens listed above.

Comments. Described based on nymphs and imagoes from Vietnam in the genus Centroptella ( Soldán et al. 1987) , this species was transferred to the subgenus Chopralla of Bungona by Salles et al. (2016) based on the tarsal claws bearing two rows of denticles. Bungona (Ch.) liebenauae is here recorded from China for the first time. This species has an unusual characteristics which can easily distinguish it from its congeners: the presence of a pair of submarginal median tubercles posteriorly on pronotum ( Figs 62–63 View FIGURES 60–66 ). Other features, such as base of glossa not reaching inner 1/3 of paraglossa ( Fig. 61 View FIGURES 60–66 ), dentate tarsal claws ( Fig. 64 View FIGURES 60–66 ) and characteristic contrasting body colour pattern ( Fig. 66 View FIGURES 60–66 ), clearly fit the concept of Chopralla proposed by Salles et al. (2016).
