Remarks.
Only the female of this species was described by
Yang & Yang (1996)
. The female was characterized by the V-shaped subgenital plate and the cleft sternum 9 (
Fig. 1
A–1B; see fig.
3 in
Yang & Yang 1996
), which is unusual in
Isoperla
and may be an artifact of the dried specimen. Color pattern of this species wasindicated as: head yellow, ocellar area with a dark stigma; pronotum yellow, laterally with two wide, dark stripes; legs pale brown; abdominal terga dark, sterna pale brown (
Yang & Yang 1996
, in Chinese). New material needs to be examined to determine the status of this taxon, especially associated male with everted aedeagus.
