ABSTRACT

A new species of Nemouridae stonefly, Illiesonemoura wanglanga Rehman, Zhu and Du sp. nov., is described from Wanglang Nature Reserve, Sichuan Province, China. The male, female, and nymph of this species are identified and thoroughly documented. This study includes a diagnosis, detailed descriptions of the terminalia, and a comparison of terminalia similarities with closely related species. Furthermore, the female of Illiesonemoura bituberculata Wang and Du, 2023 was recorded for the first time from Sichuan Province, along with updated illustrations of the male. In addition, we provide an identification key to the adult males of Chinese Illiesonemoura species. These findings provide valuable data for future identification and taxonomic studies.

DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4779.4.9 

Abstract
Sinoperlodes zhouchangfai gen. nov., sp. nov. is described and illustrated on the basis of male and female adults from Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang Province of southeastern China, representing the first record of subfamily Perlodinae in coastal southeastern China. The new genus is characterized by extremely complicated netlike venation on apical half of wings; an entire, moderately elevated tergum 10 of male which with small transverse membrane and posteriorly covered with sensilla basiconica and sharp spines; seven small apical lobes of aedeagus; short elliptical eversible paraproct lobes and banded legs. Female of the new genus is distinctive with an elongated, broad subgenital plate covering sternum 9.
