Supplementary description
(
Fig. 6
). Tergum 6 with a posteromedial patch of sensilla basiconica. Aedeagal tube strongly sclerotized, slightly curved ventrad, dorsally with spinules, and ventrally with a pair of short subapical nipple shaped lobes (
Figs. 6c–6d
). Aedeagal sac short, about 0.25X tube length, membranous, curved ventrally, and gradually tapering to a blunt tip; apical half covered by dense spinules (

Remarks
. The aedeagal sac of
Neoperla hainanensis
Yang & Yang, 1995
was not everted and described in the original description. The head pattern, the dorsal terminalia, and the aedeagal tube of this single male specimen agree well with figures provided by
Yang & Yang (1995)
. But our male specimen has a patch of sensilla basiconica on tergum 6 posteromedially, which is thought to be intraspecific variation. We provide additional illustrations to aid in the recognition of this southern
China
species.
