Remarks.
Stark and Sivec (2008)
originally described this species from Vietnam, and
Mo et al. (2020a)
described a new record in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The terminalia and aedeagus of our specimen fit the original description of
Stark and Sivec (2008)
.
Concluding remarks
Neoperla
was divided into the
Neoperla clymene
group and the
Neoperla montivaga
group by
Zwick (1983)
. The
N. clymene
species group currently includes more than 150 species, and the
N. montivaga
species group includes over 123 species worldwide (
Huo et al. 2021
;
Mo et al. 2021a
).
So far 11 species of
Neoeprla
have been recorded from Yunnan Province, including the two new species and one species newly recorded in this paper. Among the six endemic species of
Neoperla
, including the two new species listed below-
N. lihuae
,
N. yanlii
,
N. obscurofulva
,
N. yunnana
,
N.
hajeki
, and
N. gaoligongshana
-three of them are distributed in Baoshan City. Five species are widely distributed:
N. cavaleriei
,
N. diehli
,
N. hubleyi
,
N. limbatella
, and
N. lui
.
Neoperla binodosa
Wu, 1973 was transferred to the genus
Phanoperla
and is placed as a synonym of
P. pallipennis
Banks, 1938 by
Mo et al. (2021c)
. Most species are distributed in western and southeastern Yunnan Province and central and northern Yunnan still needs to be surveyed (Fig.

).
