Abstract
Phanoperla menglunensis sp. nov. (Plecoptera: Perlidae) is described from Yunnan Province, China. Additionally, we present the first Chinese record of P. uchidai Sivec & Stark, 2010, previously known only from Thailand and Laos. An updated description of P. uchidai is also provided, supplemented with diagnostic imagery for clarity.
