Fig. 84 Singh & Ghosh, 1969: 134–135 , fig. 1 ( Perlodes shobhaae ). Holotype female and paratypes 10 females deposited in the National Zoological collection of Zoological Survey of India , Calcutta; Zwick, 1973:230 ( Filchneria shobhaae ) ; Chandra et al. 2019: 229 ( Filchneria shobhaae ). Remarks. The redescription of Zhiltzovaia amabilis ( Jewett, 1958 ) , based on type and new material collected from the streams of Pamir ( Tajikistan ) and the northwestern Himalaya, including northern India ( Teslenko & Palatov 2020 ) agrees well with the original relatively brief description of the female of Filchneria shobhaae by Singh & Ghosh (1969) . Taking into account the remarkable shape of the female subgenital plate ( Fig. 84 ), the color pattern of the head, pronotum, legs, cerci, and the proximity of the type localities of F . shobhaae with recent records of Z. amabilis in the basin of the same Alaknanda River, in the state Unttarakhaand, India , and an identical time of emerging, we believe the species are considered conspecific. It also follows that F. shobhaae belongs to the genus Zhiltzovaia Özdikmen, 2008 . We propose to transfer Filchneria shobhaae to genus Zhiltzovaia and place F. shobhaae as a junior synonym of Zhiltzovaia amabilis ( Jewett, 1958 ) syn. nov.
