Abstract

The species of the family Taeniopterygidae (Plecoptera) are reviewed from China. Two new Kyphopteryx species, K. yangi sp. nov. and K. coniformis sp. nov. are described and illustrated from Yunnan Province of southwestern China. Additionally, a provisional key to the males of Taeniopterygidae known from China is provided.
