( Figs. 1–2 )

Neoperla anjiensis Yang & Yang, 1998: 43 . Type locality: Zhejiang Province, Mt. Longwangshan. Neoperla yangae Du, 2001: 77 . Type locality: Zhejiang Province, Mt. West Tianmushan. n. syn.

Material examined. 1 paratype male (CAU), Zhejiang Province, Longwangshan, 30.6471 N, 119.6803 E, 490 m, 1996. VI.11; 2 males (HIST), China: Zhejiang Province, Li’an County, Mt. Tianmushan, 2011. VII. 23, 30.3374 N, 119.4004 E, Xuanxuan Song.

Distribution. China (Zhejiang).

Diagnosis and Remarks. The sac of a paratype of N. anjiensis was fully everted and it agrees well with original illustration of N. yangae ( Fig. 6 of Du et al. 2001). Additionally, color patterns are similar although the head pattern of the holotype is obscure. Thus, we consider N. yangae a junior synonym of N. anjiensis .
