Neoperla guangxiensis Du & Sivec, 2004 . In: Yang, 2004: 41, 44; Li, Wang & Lu, 2011: 57; Yang & Li, 2018: 40.

Material examined. 5 males ( HIST), China: Guangxi, Fangchenggang City, Shangsi County, Shiwandashan National Forest Park , 21°50'34" N, 107°51'48" E, 365 m, 2015.III.28, light trap, Kontschán J, Li JY, Li S, Li WH, Murányi D, Wang GQ .

Distribution. China (Guangxi).

Remarks. This species was originally described from Fulong Town of Fangchenggang City, Guangxi by Du & Sivec (2004) and is a member of the Neoperla sinensis species subgroup ( Li & Yan 2021). The five male specimens of this species from Shiwandashan National Forest Park in the same city, agree well with the original description and illustration (see fig. 2 in Du & Sivec 2004). It seems to be restricted to the Shiwandashan Mountains. We present herein the detailed color illustration ( Fig. 27 ) for a better recognition of this species.
