Two new species of nemourid stonefly genus Nemoura, N. liuqifeii sp. nov. and N. shennongjia sp. nov., are described from Shennongjia National Park, Hubei Province of south-central China. The relationships between the new species and similar species in the genus are discussed. Three females of an undetermined Nemoura are also described from the park, however, they were not successfully associated with the new species or previously barcoded species.

Nemourinae is represented in this region by Nemoura Latrielle, 1796, Ostrocerca Ricker, 1952, Paranemoura Needham & Claassen, 1925, Podmosta Ricker, 1952, Prostoia Ricker, 1952, Shipsa Ricker, 1952, Soyedina Ricker, 1952, and Zapada Ricker, 1952. Wing venation and patterns of mottling are depicted with standard light microscopy.
