Male.
Forewing length 6.5 mm. Posterior margin of tergum 9 with a row of 5-8 long setae (
Fig. 13
); tergum 10 with a patch of sensilla basiconica on either side of epiproct tip, and a pair of prominent clusters of triangular spines set on sclerite adjacent to epiproct near apical third. Epiproct somewhat triangular in dorsal aspect, with a pair of thin, spine covered processes projecting at apex (
Fig. 13
). Paraproct outer lobe with a slender and strongly curved outer spine (
Figs. 13-15
). Cerci globular. Vesicle about twice as long as wide (
Fig. 15
).
Female.
Forewing length 8.5 mm. Sternum 7 broadly rounded and overlapping basal half of sternum 8 (

Etymology.
The species name refers to the prominently curved, somewhat raptorial-like outer paraproct lobe.
Diagnosis.
As indicated above under
N. clavaloba
, this species shares the enlarged, spine-like structure on the paraprocts. These paraproct lobes are acute and slender in lateral aspect for
N. raptoraloba
and
N. tenuiloba
(described below) but club shaped in
N. clavaloba
.
Nemoura raptoraloba
has a cluster of spines on tergum 10 adjacent to the epiproct which are absent in
N. tenuiloba
and the epiproct is more quadrangular in outline for the latter species.
