587A87C8FFA0FFBA03E2C2C4FBF2FA8C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Tupiperla is diagnosed by: adults with a disto-ventral spine on each femur (Froehlich, 1969); forewing pattern with most crossveins with broad, squarish, and darker borders, forewing pterostigmatic crossveins absent; in males, the lack of a sclerotized epiproct, and a relatively long extension of tergum 10 (T 10) that ends in two separate teeth (Bispo & Froehlich, 2007). The nymphs are slender; the femur, as in adults, is provided with a disto-ventral spine; the femur and tibia lack a dorsal row of long hairs (Froehlich, 1969).	en	Duarte, Tácio, Novaes, Marcos Carneiro, Bispo, Pitágoras Da Conceição (2019): Five new species of Tupiperla Froehlich, 1969 (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae).

587A87C8FFA0FFBE03E2C4E7FC9BFE87.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Tupiperla pinhoi can be distinguished from the congeners by the shape of the paraprocts and the T 10 extension in males. The median dorsal margin of the paraprocts in T. pinhoi are covered by minute teeth, and the distal region has a distinct hook-shaped curvature. Only T. illiesi, T. reichardti Froehlich, 1998, and T. serrulata sp. nov. have minute teeth on the dorsal margin of the paraprocts. However, in T. illiesi each paraproct has a small and thin latero-distal spine, whereas in T. reichardti, each paraproct has a large latero-medial spine and in T. serrulata sp. nov., the paraprocts lack a lateral spine. Tupiperla pinhoi was collected in 2010 at the Avencal Waterfall, at 1229 m a. s. l. in the municipality of Urubici, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The waterfall is 100 m high and it formed by the Funil River. The common vegetation in the area is the “ avenca ” (Pteridaceae: Adiantum sp.).	en	Duarte, Tácio, Novaes, Marcos Carneiro, Bispo, Pitágoras Da Conceição (2019): Five new species of Tupiperla Froehlich, 1969 (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae).

587A87C8FFA4FFBF03E2C0E0FE9EFEDB.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Tupiperla serrulata has a weak pterostigmatic crossvein in the forewing, an unusual character state in Tupiperla (Froehlich, 1998). Excepting this, the species fits the concept of the genus. In addition to this character, this new species can be distinguished from the congeners by the shape of the paraprocts in males, and by the subgenital plate of females. The paraprocts of T. serrulata resemble in part those of T. tessellata, however, T. serrulata has the dorsal margin serrated, whereas in T. tessellata it is smooth. The female of T. serrulata has an elongated subgenital plate with lateral margins concave. Tupiperla serrulata is described from male and female specimens collected in the municipalities of Grão Pará and Urubici, Santa Catarina State, Brazil. The material was primarily collected with Malaise traps set from December to November in the Serra Furada State Park (PAESF), a conservation area between the municipalities of Grão Pará and Orleans. The PAESF has an area of 13.3 km 2 and an altitude varying from 400 to 1,480 m a. s. l. and pro- tects numerous springs (IMA, 2019). The relative humidity in the area is high, around 85 %, and the average annual rainfall of 1,500 mm.	en	Duarte, Tácio, Novaes, Marcos Carneiro, Bispo, Pitágoras Da Conceição (2019): Five new species of Tupiperla Froehlich, 1969 (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae).

587A87C8FFA5FFB103E2C673FB9AFA93.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Tupiperla pessacqi can be distinguished from the congeners by the shape of paraprocts in males and by the subgenital plate of female. The paraprocts of T. pessacqi resembles those of T. illiesi, however, in the latter species, each paraproct has a subapical lateral spine, whereas in T. pessacqi the distal region is twisted. In addition, the paraprocts of T. illiesi are covered by minute teeth on the dorsal margin, absent in T. pessacqi. The subgenital plate of female of the both species are distinctive. In T. pessacqi the subgenital plate is square-shaped, whereas in T. illiesi, the plate is truncate to oblong with small posterolateral extensions. Tupiperla pessacqi is described based on male and female specimens collected in the municipalities of Urubici and Grão Pará, Santa Catarina State, Brazil. Most of the material comes from Avencal (including the holotype) and Véu de Noiva waterfalls in the São Joaquim National Park in Urubici. Additional material was collected in Serra River in Urubici, and Braço Esquerdo and Três Barras rivers in Grão Pará.	en	Duarte, Tácio, Novaes, Marcos Carneiro, Bispo, Pitágoras Da Conceição (2019): Five new species of Tupiperla Froehlich, 1969 (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae).

587A87C8FFABFFB303E2C4EBFB1FFCD3.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Males of Tupiperla ubuntu has a T 10 extension that resembles that of T. oliveirai. However, the paraprocts in T. ubuntu are thin and expand gradually towards a truncated apex, ending postero-dorsally in a small pointed tooth. In T. oliveirai, the paraprocts are strongly dilated, bent upward in last third, with a membranous area apically and a subapical dorsal tooth. Tupiperla ubuntu is described based on male and female specimens collected in the village of Minador River in the municipality of Orleans, Santa Catarina State, Brazil. Most material was collected using Malaise traps from August to December 2013. The number of females collected was 15 times greater than the number of males.	en	Duarte, Tácio, Novaes, Marcos Carneiro, Bispo, Pitágoras Da Conceição (2019): Five new species of Tupiperla Froehlich, 1969 (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae).

587A87C8FFA9FFB503E2C21CFB2EFE33.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Tupiperla zwicki can be distinguished from the congeners by the shape of the paraprocts and T 10 extension in males. In lateral view, T. zwicki resembles T. illiesi, however, in this species, each paraproct has a row of small teeth on dorsal margin, and the latero-distal region has a spine, while in T. zwicki there are no teeth in the dorsal margin of the paraprocts, and the distal portion is curved outwards. Tupiperla zwicki is described based on specimens collected in municipalities of Orleans and Urubici, Santa Catarina State, Brazil. Four male specimens (including the holotype) were collected from August to January 2013, another male was collected in January 2010. Several females were collected in the same locality but are left unassociated.	en	Duarte, Tácio, Novaes, Marcos Carneiro, Bispo, Pitágoras Da Conceição (2019): Five new species of Tupiperla Froehlich, 1969 (Plecoptera: Gripopterygidae).
