Parisoperla oncocauda
(

,
comb. nov.
Isoperla oncocauda
Huo & Du, 2018
.
Type
locality:
Tianmu Mountain
,
Zhejiang Province
.
Distribution:
China
(
Zhejiang
).
Mature nymph:
Body length c.a.
16 mm
. Gills absent. Body covered with dark hair. Maculation of head and thorax typical of other
Isoperlinae
; M line and ecdysial line obvious. Mouthpart as shown in
Fig. 3
. Ventral tibial fringe absent. Wing pads subtriangular. Abdomen with a longitudinal pale band; paraprocts short; cerci long with setal fringe (
Fig. 2
).
Material examined:
1 nymph,
China
,
Zhejiang Province
, Lin’an City, Tianmu Mountain Nature Reserve, Wuliting,
861m
,
30°20.228′N

, leg. Gao Peng. The same locality and data as
holotype
and
paratypes
of this species (
ICYZU
).
Remarks:
Only a single nymph available of the new genus from Tianmu Mountain was available for study. In the new genus, the Y-arms of the mesosternum and mandibles appear to be most similar to nymphs of
Calliperla
and
Isoperla
(
Szczytko & Stewart 1984
,
Stewart & Stark 1993
). The lacinia of
P. oncocauda
is similar to
C. luctuosa
(
Banks, 1906
)
with the apex curved and inner margin straight (
Szczytko & Stewart 1984
), but the inner lacinial setal row of
P. oncocauda
is only present on the anterior apex angle, not reaching the base and sparser than
C. luctuosa
(about 8 thick setae and 20 fine hairs). No additional seta or setal patches occur on the surface of the lacinia.
