Abstract

The types of two poorly known species of Perlodinella Klapálek, 1912, P. fuliginosa Wu, 1973 and P. tatunga Wu, 1973, were reexamined in detail. Perlodinella fuliginosa and two species of Perlodes, P. truncata Wu & Claassen, 1934 and P. lobata Wu & Claassen, 1934, are placed as junior synonyms of P. kozlovi Klapálek, 1912.
