Neoperla henana Li, Wu & Zhang, 2011: 33; Li & Wang. 2012: 262; Qin, Murányi, Wang & Li, 2013: 6; Li, Li, Feng & Wang, 2014: 178; Yang & Li, 2018: 40.
Female (Fig. 29). Forewing length 12.2–13.5 mm (n=6). Habitus generally similar to male. Sternum 8 slightly sclerotized, posteromedially produced into a short but distinct, triangular subgenital plate with a blunt tip. inconspicuous. Micropyles sessile, dispersed between striae, set on subequatorial line. Collar short and with distinct but sessile flange, subtended by 2–3 rows of semicircular impressions; anchor not studied. Lid slightly wider than collar, bears conspicuous follicle cell impressions (FCIs) over the entire surface and fully covered with fine punctations.
Material examined. 4 males (COI NO. C71, C72) (HIST), China: Guangxi, Guilin City, Multinational Autonomous County of Longsheng, Huaping National Nature Reserve, 25°38'24" N, 109°54'0" E, 469 m, 2020.VIII.16, light trap, Mo RR, Qin FP ; 1 male and 6 females (COI NO. C5, C10) (HIST), Guangxi, Guilin City, Multinational Autonomous County of Longsheng, at gate of Huaping National Nature Reserve, 25°37'37" N, 109°54'41" E, 734 m, 2019.VIII.30, light trap, Wang GQ, Mo RR, Liu LX, Qin FP, Mo YY .
Distribution. China (Fujian, Guangxi and Henan).
Remarks. This species was originally described from Henan Province by Li et al. (2011b), and subsequently recorded from Fujian Province by Qin et al. (2013). In the present study, we add Guangxi as the third province of distribution for this species. Our male specimens agree well with the figures provided by Li et al. (2011b) (see figs. 1–5) and Qin et al. (2013) (see fig. 3). Female association was confirmed by molecular study. In addition, the female and eggs of this species are described for the first time. We provide additional illustrations (Figs. 28–30) for both sexes and eggs to aid in the recognition of this relatively widespread Chinese species.
