Supplementary description: Adult wings nearly black with metallic green and blue luster. Body generally black, with similar luster to wings, except the ventral arolium, ventral first two tarsomeres, and membranous junction between the ventral thoracic segments are bright yellowish ( Figs. 1–6 View FIGURE 1 View FIGURE 2 View FIGURE 3 View FIGURE 4 View FIGURE 5 View FIGURE 6 ).
Adult male: Aedeagus membranous, composed of a long, thick tube at base, the apex abruptly expanded to a wide stem with two pairs of lateral arms and one apical lobe (partially extruded). The apical lobe bears many distinct transverse wrinkles and thick hairs. Much of the aedeagal surface covered with ventral microtrichia and cuticular asperities ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 ).
Adult female: Shape of the subgenital plate in our materials same as the figures in Zwick (1973, Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 ).
Egg: Length ca. 0.47 mm, width ca. 0.34 mm. Outline chicken-egg shaped, collar small, projecting well above posterior pole. Chorion coarsely punctate throughout, without ridges; a paler ring lacking punctations near anterior pole ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 ).
Nymph: Triocellate, anterior ocellus highly reduced. Compound eyes small, only 20 % of lateral head length. General color reddish brown, without obvious pattern ( Figs. 7–9A View FIGURE 7 View FIGURE 8 View FIGURE 9 ). Pronotum smooth on surface, completely fringed with long bristles along lateral margins. Legs with sparse dorsal fringes on femora and tibiae but rather heavily armed with stout setae. Thoracic and anal gills well developed; more than 5 branches present on each gill ( Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 ). Paraprocts large, apex finger-like and pointed ( Figs. 8G View FIGURE 8 ).
Lacinia triangular, bidentate, five coarse spines below the second tooth, a row of long fine hair from base of spines to articulation of lacinia. Mandible with five stout, short cusps, from basal cusps three rows of stout spines occupy the molar region, two extending on the ventral surface and a third composed of longer spines on the medial surface. Paraglossae flat, inverted triangular, ca. twice the length of glossae. Glossa short, apex with thick fine hairs.

Hu Zheng-Kun GoogleMaps ; 1♂, China, Guangdong Province, Shaoguan City, Nanling National Forest Park , 2021 (specimen picked from a collection of local Malaise trap, data and collector unknown) .
Distribution: China (Fujian, newly recorded in Guangdong, Guangxi and Guizhou); Vietnam.
Remarks: This work is the first to describe the nymph of H. violacea . Mandible of nymphs share the same shape with Hemacroneuria marginalis Stark & Sivec, 2008 . The interspecific differences are not apparent based on mouthparts. When this species emerges it is easily collected from rocks and bridges by streams ( Fig. 9 View FIGURE 9 ). Specimens from the four geographical populations from China showed no visible intraspecific differences in morphology.
