Sivec, Ignac & Stark, Bill P., 2008, New Species Of Kamimuria Klapálek (Plecoptera: Perlidae) From Thailand And Vietnam, With Notes On Chinese Species, Illiesia 4 (12), pp. 110-138 : 132-133

Kamimuria Vn-A

( Figs. 92-93 )

Material examined. Vietnam, Lao Cai, Sapa, OkuiHo , 1100 m, 24-25 March 1995, W. Mey, 1 ♀ ( ZMH).

Egg. Outline oval with short, stalked collar; collar rim

flanged and irregularly incised. Chorion covered throughout with pits or clusters of shallow pock marks; largest pits occur in a band covering middle third of egg, pits near collar and on lid are small, shallow and clustered in small groups of ca. 3-8 ( Figs. 92-93 ).

Diagnosis. The egg of this specimen is distinct from the others known from Vietnam and Thailand but might represent K. similis , which was described from a male from this area.
