03C28796CE1B7662FF1AF9A7B05FFCDA.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species is characteristic by: General colour yellowish brown, head with a wide Y-shaped dark brown patch, and bearing a small triangular brown marking forward of M-line; hammer drop-like, with rounded base and triangular tip in ventral view and the rectangular epiproct sclerites separated by a wide membranous band. Description. Adult. Body length (n = 4) 11.5 – 13.2 mm, forewing length 9.7 – 10.8 mm, hindwing length 8.0 – 8.9 mm. Body color yellowish brown. Head mostly pale with a wide Y-shaped dark brown patch, and bearing a small triangular brown marking forward of M-line (Figs 1 A, 2 B), anterolateral part of Y-shaped patch obscure in a teneral male (Fig. 2 A); slightly wider than pronotum. Compound eyes black. Biocellate; antennae brown. Pronotum brownish with pale rugosities, rectangular, corners obtuse (Fig. 1 A). Wings transparent, veins brownish. Cerci brown. Tergum 10 with a pair of dark brown subtriangular spines on posterior margin, obviously sclerotized, set far from each other, located close to paraprocts. Epiproct rectangular, medially interrupted by a wide membranous band. Paraprocts hookshaped, dark brown, curved forward; finger-shaped in lateral view (Figs 1 B, 1 D). Hammer basal half brown, anteriorly with brown extensions; generally drop-like, with rounded base and triangular tip in ventral view, apex pale and parallel-sided in lateral view (Figs 1 C – D, 2 F – G). Everted aedeagus mostly membranous and unpigmented, ventrally with two oval lobes at base connected by a thin transverse brown strip, medially constricted, apex trilobed (Figs 2 C – E). Female. Unknown. Material examined. Holotype ♂ (CAU), China, Shaanxi Province, Yuling Town, Jiefang Village, light trap, 1133 m, 110 ° 43 ' 07 " N, 33 ° 87 ' 47 " E, 11 July 2014, Chufei Tang. Paratypes. 3 ♂ (CAU & HIST), China, Hubei Province, Yingshan County, Taohuachong forest park, light trap, 694 m, 116 ° 02 ' 30 " N, 30 ° 98 ' 42 " E, 25 June 2014, Mengchao Tan. Distribution. China (Shaanxi, Hubei). Elevation of habitats ranges from ca. 700 – 1100 m. Etymology. The name separata (from the Latin word separatus, means divided, separated) refers to the epiproct sclerites being separated medially. Remarks. The new species is similar to F. galerispina Mo, Wang & Li, 2020 from Guangxi, by having similar epiproct. However, the hammer and the shapes of the everted aedeagi of both species are distinctive. In F. galerispina, the hammer has a swollen apex in lateral aspect, and the aedeagus bears a cap-shaped patch of brown triangular spines (Mo et al., 2020: figs. 2 b – c, 3 a – c), while the new species has the hammer parallel-sided in lateral aspect and the aedeagus lack distinct spines (Figs 1 C – D, 2 C – E).	en	Liu, Ruijun, Li, Wenliang, Li, Weihai, Shali, Yasen (2021): Two new species of Flavoperla (Plecoptera: Perlidae) from China.

03C28796CE1A7667FF1AF826B1FAFE16.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The new species is characteristic by: General colour pale, head without distinct markings; male terminalia with a bell-shaped hammer, a pair of hook-shaped paraprocts and the triangular epiproct with a small membranous triangular median area. Description. Adult. Body length 13.0 – 14.3 mm (n = 8), forewing length 11.5 – 12.5 mm, hindwing length 10.1 – 11.0 mm. Body color pale. Head pale, occiput elongated, compound eyes black. Biocellate. Antennae pale. Pronotum brownish and rectangular with paler rugosities, corners obtuse (Fig. 3 A). Wings transparent, veins brownish. Legs generally pale, femur paler. Cerci pale brown. Tergum 10 with a pair of brown subtriangular spines on posterior margin, apex sharp and separated far from each other, about in position of paraprocts. Epiproct triangular and divided by small membranous triangular area (Fig. 3 B). Paraprocts hook-shaped, curved forward, pointed (Fig. 3 B). Hammer bell-shaped, sometimes tapering to a nipple-like brown pigmented apex as shown in Fig. 4 D in ventral view; apex swollen and curved upward dorsally in lateral view (Figs 3 C – D, 4 D – E). Aedeagus generally membranous, sub-rectangular in ventral view, about 3 X longer than wide, with a pair of basolateral lobes and meso-lateral processes, respectively. Caudally with a brown “ bell-shaped ” marking and a pair of “ comb-shaped ” marking (Figs 4 A – C). Female. Unknown. Material examined. Holotype ♂ (HIST), China, Shaanxi Province, Qinling Mountains, Ningshan County, Huoditang of Pingheliang Forestry Station, light trap, 1500 m, 33 ° 28 ' N, 108 ° 29 ' E, 12 July 2012, Weihai Li. Paratypes. 6 ♂, same data as holotype; 1 ♂ (CAU), China, Sichuan Province, Liangshan Prefecture, Yanyuan City, Zhulin Village, sweep net, 1572 m, 107 ° 77 ' 41 " N, 27 ° 30 ' 53 " E, 27 August 2019, Longbing Wang. Distribution. China (Shaanxi, Sichuan). The types in Qinling of Shaanxi Province were trapped near a wide stream. Elevation of habitats ranges from ca. 1500 – 1570 m. Etymology. The specific name refers to the type locality, Qinling Moutains. Remarks. The new species is similar to F. basomarginata Chen, 2019 from Sichuan, by having similar color pattern and hammer. But it can be easily separated from F. basomarginata by the aedeagus apically with a brown “ bell-shaped ” marking, a pair of “ comb-shaped ” marking and lacking ventral lobes while the latter has heart-shaped lobe in ventral view and a pair of lateral spines at apex.
