Neoperla nishidai Sivec

Neoperla nishidai Sivec, 1984:13 .

Holotype ♂ (Bernice P. Bishop Museum), 4 km N San Nicolas, Busuanga Island , Philippine Islands

Material examined. PHILIPPINE ISLANDS, Palawan, Salakot Falls Road, 300 m, 19 March 1996, 1♂. Same locality, 23-24 March1996, 1♂. Palawan, San Rafael, Ulanguan, Batac village, 10 March 1996, 1♂. Palawan, PPC, Irawan, 22 February 1996, 1♂ (all specimens deposited in the PZ collection).

Comments. Sivec (1984) reported this species from three sites on Palawan in addition to the type locality. The species was previously known from four males and one female specimen, however another similar female with a different egg was collected with these males and is described below as Neoperla PA-9. This may be the true female for N. nishidai , but in the absence of additional data, no determination can be made.
