0398878DFFABFFC4FF385EEA23B12D83.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Rhopalopsole liui is a member of the R. shaanxiensis group of Sivec et al. (2008) with short or obsolete lateral projections of tergum 10 and large subanal lobes. The new species seems related to R. qinlinga (Sivec et al. 2008) in having similar forked processes in ventral surface of subanal lobe, however, the central plate of Rhopalopsole liui sp. nov. has a pair of reniform sclerites and shorter lateral projections, while R. qinlinga has a narrow central plate and lateral projections of the 10 tergum being long and forked to acute apices (figs. 34.1 & 34.2, Sivec et al. 2008).	en	Chen, Jing, Wang, Hongliang, Li, Weihai (2022): Two new species of the genus Rhopalopsole (Plecoptera: Leuctridae) from China.

Pronotum (Fig. 3 a) brown, surface with dark brown longitudinal median and paramedial elliptical rugosities, anterior corners rounded, posterior corners angulate; wings subhyaline, veins brown; legs brown. Abdomen brown, terminalia mostly dark brown. Terminalia. Tergum 9 (Figs. 3 b, 4 a, 5 b) heavily sclerotized except medial portion anterior to a pair of darkly sclerotized transverse bands at posterior margin, the bands generally rectangular and covered by dense scales; Sternum 9 (Figs. 3 c & 4 b) longer than wide and rounded apically, basally with densely hirsute oval vesicle on a short pedicel.

Cercus (Figs. 3 b – 3 d, 4 a – 4 c) hirsute and upcurved medially, without apical spine. Epiproct (Figs. 3 b, 4 a, 5 d) hook like, regularly tapering to apex. Subanal lobes (Figs. 3 b – 3 c, 4 a – 4 c, 5 a, 5 c) of large size, distinctly sclerotized, strongly upcurved apically, in ventral aspect apices are trilobed; in top view, the middle portion forming two bipartite lobes.

0398878DFFABFFCDFF385B0E271128C7.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Rhopalopsole yadonga is a member of the R. magnicerca group as defined by Sivec et al. (2008), the group having on tergum 9 a pair of strongly sclerotized transverse bars that are covered in small, rounded knobs or scales. The new species can be easily distinguished from other members of the group by the inner margin of the lateral projections of tergum 10 being enlarged and incised apically. Additionally, the subgenital plate in females is similar to R. longispina Yang & Yang, 1991 of the R. magnicerca species group (see figs. 43 & 44, Li & Yang, 2012). The subgenital plate in the new species has a much wider subgenital plate (Fig. 6 a); sclerites of sternum 8 are triangular and narrowly separated whereas those of R. longispina are L-shaped and widely separated.	en	Chen, Jing, Wang, Hongliang, Li, Weihai (2022): Two new species of the genus Rhopalopsole (Plecoptera: Leuctridae) from China.
