Plecoptera Nemoura hugekootinlokorum syn. nov. Nemoura panda sp. nov. hubei China

Abstract

Based on a comparative morphological study, Nemoura hugekootinlokorum Wang, 2021 is considered as a synonym of Nemoura sichuanensis Li & Yang, 2006 together with a supplementary description of this species. A new species of Nemoura, N. panda sp. nov. from Shennongjia, Hubei Province, China, which appears morphologically closely related to N. sichuanensis, is also proposed.
