Kiotina
remains a poorly known, seldom collected stonefly genus of the Orient and eastern Palearctic despite the efforts of
Kawai (1967
,
1968a
,
1968b
) and
Kawai & Isobe (1979)
. The group was proposed by
Klapálek (1907)
as a subgenus of
Acroneuria
, but later (
Klapálek 1913
) it was treated as a valid genus and within three years (
Klapálek 1916
), four species were included.
Illies (1966)
and
Zwick (1973a)
list nine species in the genus but
Zwick (1973b)
removed
Hemacroneuria violacea
, where it had been placed by
Klapálek (1916)
, to
Acroneuria
, and at least one other species,
K. kelloggi
Wu & Claassen
, should be excluded based on the figures of the female subgenital plate (
Wu & Claassen 1934
).
Wu (1938)
and
Banks (1939)
also described three species in genus
Atoperla
(now a synonym of
Perlinella
) which
Du et al. (1999)
include in
Kiotina
,
and we add two previously undescribed species,
K. bifurcata
and
K. delicata
to the genus.
Uchida (1990)
considered
Schistoperla
as a junior synonym of
Kiotina
,
and apparently
Du et al. (1999)
agreed in this placement with which we also concur, thus adding two species,
K. collaris
(Banks)
and
K. decorata
(Zwick)
, to the genus. The recorded distribution of the genus after the synonymy of
Schistoperla
is recognized, and the records below are listed, includes
Japan
,
Okinawa
,
Taiwan
,
South Korea
,
North Korea
and mainland
China
. (
Du et al. 1999
;
Kawai 1968a
,
1968b
;
Uchida 1990
;
Zwick 1973c
).
