Isoperla sudetica ( Kolenati, 1860)

Chloroperla sudetica: KOLENATI (1859) : 33 (nomen nudum) Chloroperla sudetica Kolenati, 1860: 384 (original description)

Comment. Since KOLENATI (1859) only mentioned the name Chloroperla sudetica without any detailed description, the name Ch. sudetica Kolenati, 1859 is considered a nomen nudum (cf. ZWICK 1973). It was described from the Desná (Tess) river in the Hrubý Jeseník Mts. one year later. The valid combination is Isoperla sudetica ( Kolenati, 1860) . We failed to find the deposition of the type material; it is probably lost. Designation of the neotype from the type locality is needed, and complex revision based on the material from the whole area is necessary due to description of the species variability and exclusion of possible cryptic species.
