Togoperla canilimbata (Enderlein, 1909)

( Fig. 3 )

Material examined. 2 males ( HIST), China: Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Nanning City, Neichao village , N 23°29.533’, E 108°21.483’, 194 m, 2020. V.20, Raorao Mo , Yan Lai & Yingying Mo ; 1 male ( HIST), Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Fangcheng, Jinhuacha Nature Reserve , light trap, N 21°76.09’, E 108°43.49’, 2012. IV.16 , Guoquan Wang; 1 male ( CAUC), Hubei Province, Yingshan County, Caopan Town, Dabie Mountains , Taohuachong Forest Park , light trap, N 30°57.606’, E 115°45.426’, 634 m, 2014. VI.25; 1 male ( CAUC), Guizhou Province, Tongren City, Fanjing Mountain, Yu’ao , scenic spot, 1400 m, 2006.VII.19 , Gang Yao.

Remarks. The primary dark interocellar area with truncate anterior margin is consistent and the presence/absence of two triangular marking forward and posterior to M-line could be explained as related to degree of aging of specimens ( Figs. 3A, 3B & 3D ). The armatures of aedeagal sac and three apical lobe agree well with Stark & Sivec (2008) and may serve as good characters for identification of this species ( Figs. 3C & 3E ).
