Neoperla similidella Li & Wang, 2013 . In: Li, Wang & Qin, 2013: 25 ; Qin, Murányi, Wang & Li, 2013: 11 ; Yang & Li, 2018: 42.

Material examined. 1 male ( HIST), China: Guangxi, Nanning City, Wuming County, Liangjiang Town , Neichao Village , 23°29'32" N, 108°21'29" E, 230 m, 2017.VII.13, light trap, Mo RR, Lai Y ; 1 male ( HIST), Guangxi, Laibin City, Jinxiu Yao Autonomous County, Dayaoshan National Natural Reserve , Shengtang Mountain , 23°58'32" N, 110°6'49" E, 1149 m, 2020.VI.12, light trap, Mo RR, Lai Y et al .

Distribution. China (Fujian and Guangxi).

Remarks. The species was described from Wuyishan Mountain of Fujian Province ( Li et al. 2013b; Qin et al. 2013), and hitherto it was known only from the type locality. The present two male specimens agree well with the type materials and further topotypes. The specific characters are shown on Fig. 33 : characteristic head pattern, strongly sclerotized tube, relatively short sac with distinct, strong apical spines and subapical field of fine spines. These are the first reports from Guangxi.
