Four, presumably microendemic new species are described on the basis of morphology of the adult males and females. Each species was collected only in a single mountain range of the western Balkans: Kovács & Murányi, (Albania, Çermenikë), (Serbia, Golija), (Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kozara), (Montenegro, Visitor). Their morphological affinities and ecology are discussed, phylogenetic relations will be described in the framework of ongoing molecular studies of Balkan species.

Background: Euholognatha is a monophyletic group within stoneflies comprised by a superfamily Nemouroidea and a family Scopuridae. Based on morphological data, the family-level phylogenetic relationships within Euholognatha are widely accepted, but there is still controversy among different molecular studies. To better understand the phylogeny of all six extant euholognathan families, we sequenced and analyzed seven euholognathan mitogenomes.

We examined Chinese stonefly specimens of the 'western assemblage' group. A new species from Hainan Province, Li, Li & Yang, is described and illustrated from male and female adults, and it is compared to closely related taxa. The hitherto unknown female of Li & Yang, 2010 is described.

Intraspecific morphological variability of four Styloperla Wu, 1935 species are described and discussed in this paper. The males of each species have variable specializations present at their basal cercal process, including the variable number of branches or differing degrees of curvature at the apical spines. A generalization on the species definition of Plecoptera, especially a new concept of conspecificity is also provided herein.

Background: An investigation report of stonefly fauna in Benxi Manchu Autonomous County, Liaoning Province, northeast China (used to be called Manchuria, now includes Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang Provinces and parts of Inner Mongolia, which are adjacent to the Russian Far East and the Korean Peninsula). Materials were studied with field observation in 2018 and 2019.

New Information: This paper records five families, nine genera and 14 species of stoneflies from Taizi River, Liaoning Province.

Article Synopsis
  • The paper highlights a lack of research on the mating behavior of Chinese stoneflies (Plecoptera) and reports errors in mating among 13 different species.
  • Three categories of mating mistakes are identified: wrong attempts between male stoneflies, mismatched mating attempts between different species, and interactions with non-living things.
  • The study explores various factors involved in these mistakes, including male competition, sensory cues that trigger mating, conditions leading to errors, and the potential for hybrid offspring from these interspecific encounters.

The type species of Klapálek, 1908, (Klapálek, 1901), is based on a single female collected from Mongolia, but it was considered the same as another species, from Qinling, China, when the genus was proposed. This study narrates the story of these two species, which have been confused for a century. Until now, the distribution of has been confirmed only in Mongolia and Russia, and we recently recorded it for the first time in Inner Mongolia as a new species record in China.

Taeniopterygidae is a medium-sized family of stoneflies. The phylogeny of Taeniopterygidae was widely accepted based on the morphological analyses. However, there are different opinions based on molecular data.

Three species of the group are described from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of southern China, including two new species, and , and a new record for Guangxi: Wu & Claassen, 1934. Illustrations and color images are provided for the three species mentioned above, and the new species is compared with related congeners in the group. Notes on the distribution of the species known from Guangxi are also given.

Known Plecoptera data published from Azerbaijan are critically reviewed. New records of 28 species are enumerated on the basis of specimens collected between 2017 and 2019, among them 16 are new for the fauna of Azerbaijan. Nemoura irani Aubert, 1964 is new for the whole Caucasian region, Leuctra sanainica Zhiltzova, 1960 and Plesioperla sakartvella (Zhiltzova, 1956) are new for the Greater Caucasus.

The genus belongs to the family Nemouridae (Plecoptera) and has 205 species in the Holarctic and Oriental Regions. We sequenced the fourth complete mitochondrial genome of Shimizu, 1997. The mitogenome is 15,827 bp long with 37 genes plus a control region with an A + T content of 68.

The family-level relationships within Plecoptera have been a focused area of research for a long time. Its higher classification remains unstable, and the phylogenetic relationships within Plecoptera should be re-examined. Here, we sequenced and analyzed two complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of Paraleuctra cercia and Perlomyia isobeae of the family Leuctridae.
