Etymology:
The scientific name refers to the
type
locality.
Diagnosis: This species can be distinguished by the slender paraprocts and the shape of posteromedial margin of male tergum 10.
Remarks:
This species is similar to
P. kuankuoshuiensis
, except for the longer process on male terminalia and smaller paraprocts (
Fig. 14
). It is also similar to
P. oncocauda
, but the sclerotized areas on terminalia are different in shape. The posteromedial margin of tergum 10 of the male of
P. leigongshana
is narrowed in dorsal view.
Parisoperla oncocauda
bears a process which is wider at posteromedial tergal margin and tapers distally.
