Abstract
A new species, Neoperla yiliangensis Mo, Li & Murányi, sp. nov., is proposed from Yunnan Province of southwestern China and compared with related congeners. An additional species, Neoperla forcipata Yang & Yang, 1992 is reported from Yunnan Province for the first time and the first descriptions of aedeagal sac and female are also presented.
