Two congeners that share the similar aedeagal morphology, N. pangi and N. tuberculata, may also belong to the same complex.	en	Huo, Qingbo, Du, Yuzhou, Zhu, Binqing, Yu, Lei (2021): Notes on Neoperla sinensis Chu, 1928 and Neoperla anjiensis Yang & Yang, 1998 with descriptions of new species of Neoperla from China (Plecoptera: Perlidae).
