039A87DFA23F40159EC9FF7DFDA4FDD7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species is defined by a medially swollen epiproct with a truncate tip and by the dorsal sclerite bearing darkly sclerotized lateral arms. Additionally, the outer lobe of the paraproct is thin and head-like apically with several rows of spines, while the median lobe has a bowl-shaped apex with several fine, long spines around the margin.	en	Li, Weihai, Yang, Ding (2008): Species of Amphinemura (Plecoptera: Nemouridae) from Tibet, China.

039A87DFA23F40179EC9F8CAFBA1FE29.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The epiproct of this species is rectangular at its base, extending to an enlarged rhombic tip. Its dorsal sclerite is composed of two laterally curved arms that become truncate apically where they bear several tiny spines. The ventral sclerite extends past the dorsal one, ending in a dorsally curved projection. The outer lobe of the paraproct is distinctly sclerotized, with a finger-like tip that is fringed with two rows of spines. The median lobe has an inverted, foot-like apex that has several heavy spines at its bend dorsally. Male. Forewing length 4.8 – 6.2 mm, hindwing length 4.1 – 5.3 mm. Head and compound eyes dark; antennae and legs brown. Thorax and mouthparts dark brown. Wings hyaline. Abdomen brownish and cerci yellowish brown; hairs on abdomen mostly pale. Terminalia (Figs. 6 – 10): Tergum 9 weakly sclerotized, with a large anterior emargination and a row of long hairs posteriorly. Sternum 9 with slender vesicle, slightly enlarged at base; hypoproct somewhat triangular, gradually tapering toward tip. Tergum 10 weakly sclerotized except with anterior and posterior margins mostly sclerotized, and with two groups of tiny spines at middle. Cercus slightly sclerotized, longer than wide. Epiproct rectangular at base, extending to a enlarged rhombic tip; dorsal sclerite with two laterally curved lateral arms bearing several tiny spines at truncate tip; ventral sclerite strongly sclerotized, extending beyond tip of dorsal sclerite, expanded ventrally into large keel-shaped ridge with many black spines. Paraprocts divided into three lobes: outer lobe distinctly sclerotized, with finger-like tip fringed with two rows of spines, slightly shorter than median lobe; median lobe sclerotized and distinctly curved upward medially, with inverted footlike apex and several heavy spines at turn; inner lobe slightly sclerotized, with slim stripe at tip, shorter than median lobe.

039A87DFA23F40179EC9F8CAFBA1FE29.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The epithet of this species refers to the foot-like apex of the median lobe of the paraproct; the Latin “ pedis ” meaning a foot and “ formis ” meaning shape.	en	Li, Weihai, Yang, Ding (2008): Species of Amphinemura (Plecoptera: Nemouridae) from Tibet, China.

039A87DFA23F40179EC9F8CAFBA1FE29.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The new species is related to A. varzobi Zhiltzova, 1989 from Tadzhikistan in having a similar paraproct, but it is different from the latter in the shape of the epiproct which has a rectangular base and an enlarged rhombic tip composed of the ventral sclerites, which exceed in length the dorsal sclerites. In A. varzobi, the epiproct is slightly tapering and the ventral sclerites do not extend past the dorsal ones. Additionally, the hind margin of tergum 9 bears two papillate lobes (Zhiltzova 2003).	en	Li, Weihai, Yang, Ding (2008): Species of Amphinemura (Plecoptera: Nemouridae) from Tibet, China.

039A87DFA23D40119EC9FDABFCA9FF01.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The defining feature of this species involves the dorsal sclerites of the epiproct forming wing-like, laterally directed lobes that are bifurcate apically and covered by tiny spines. The outer lobes of the paraproct are also distinctive in that they curve dorsally at about half their length and then ventrolaterally, terminating in a bifurcate tip. The median lobe is sclerotized and strongly curved dorsomedially, its enlarged apex bearing several black spines. Male. Forewing length 4.0 mm, hindwing length 3.3 mm. Head, thorax and mouthparts dark brown; compound eyes dark. Wings hyaline. Abdomen and legs brown with pale hairs. Terminalia (Figs. 11 – 15): Tergum 9 weakly sclerotized, except anterior band, which is darkly sclerotized, with wide anterior and shallow posterior incisions, covered with tiny spines at middle forming a sclerotized, trapezoidal area. Sternum 9 vesicle constricted at base and swollen at tip; hypoproct wide basally, slightly enlarged medially and then gradually tapering toward triangular tip. Tergum 10 weakly sclerotized medially except heavier sclerotization at anterior and posterolateral margins; a large, anterior concavity present many tiny, black spines posterolaterally. Cercus slightly sclerotized, longer than wide. Epiproct quadrangular at base, produced at middle and distinctly enlarged at tip; dorsal sclerite with lateral margin darkly sclerotized as two wing-like bands that in dorsal view are bifurcate at their tip and apically covered by many tiny spines; ventral sclerite strongly sclerotized, broad at base and becoming narrower toward apex, forming acutely angulated ridge with small spines ventrally. Paraproct divided into three lobes: outer lobe distinctly sclerotized, curved dorsally at middle and then ventromedially apically, the apex having a bifurcate tip; median lobe sclerotized and strongly curved dorsally at middle, apex enlarged and bearing several black spines; inner lobe triangular, slightly sclerotized, with a narrow darkly sclerotized strip at the medial surface.

039A87DFA23D40119EC9FDABFCA9FF01.taxon	etymology	Etymology.

039A87DFA23D40119EC9FDABFCA9FF01.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The new species is quite distinct from other known species on the basis of the lateral, wing-like lobes with many tiny spines at the apex of the epiproct.	en	Li, Weihai, Yang, Ding (2008): Species of Amphinemura (Plecoptera: Nemouridae) from Tibet, China.

039A87DFA23B40119EC9FED3FDA4FD5F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species is distinguished by the darkly sclerotized dorsal sclerites of the epiproct forming slen- der lateral arms that bear a kidney-shaped projection at their tip. Additionally, the outer lobe of paraproct forms a short, finger-shaped and distinctly sclerotized projection.	en	Li, Weihai, Yang, Ding (2008): Species of Amphinemura (Plecoptera: Nemouridae) from Tibet, China.

039A87DFA23840129EC9FF73FDA4FDC9.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The epiproct of this species is narrowly triangular in dorsal view. The ventral sclerite is keel-like, but discontinuous with the ventral surface, forming an enlarged spur that bears many stout spines for most of its length. The outer lobe of the paraproct is also distinctive in that its base is narrow, but expands abruptly to form a broad, rounded and membranous tip fringed with several rows of tiny spines.	en	Li, Weihai, Yang, Ding (2008): Species of Amphinemura (Plecoptera: Nemouridae) from Tibet, China.
