Neoperlops huanghuye ( Chen, 2020) comb. n.

Phanoperla huanghuye Chen, 2020 — Chen 2020: 231 . (original description of the male and female from Fujian); DeWalt et al. 2020 (catalog).

Distribution. China, Fujian Province, Mt. Wuyishan. Known from five males and six females, all collected at a single locality ( Chen 2020).

Remarks. The species was recently described and placed in Phanoperla . However, it is a species of Neoperlops : besides obvious similarity of the male and female terminalia, aedeagus and egg to those of N. gressitti , fig. 2C in Chen (2020) clearly shows the elongated tentorial callosities, characteristic for Neoperlops and Tetropina ( Zwick 1984, Sivec et al. 1988). The species can be distinguished from N. gressitti based on the slightly different head pattern, and denser sensilla basiconica of tergum 9. As mentioned above, identity and distinction should be confirmed by molecular studies.
