Abstract

Sinacroneuria obscura Li & Murányi, sp. n. is proposed from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, southcentral China. The new species is described on the basis of male adult, male and female larvae, and drumming signal. This new taxon is compared with related congeners. Sinacroneuria acuticornis Uchida, sp. n. is proposed to validate the manuscript name Nishineuria cornuta Uchida, 1990. The male and larva of Acroneuriini incertae sedis sensu Shimizu et al. (2005) confirmed to refer to this species.
