524E87DE402AFFF38DE02038FCDAF9AB.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Amphinemura beibeng sp. nov. appears to be closely related to A. pentaspina sp. nov. after comparing members of the A. luteipes species group (Aubert 1967). Both species share similarities with regards to the epiproct apical tube and ventral ridge, paraproct characteristics, and pronotal color pattern. Paraproct characteristics distinguishes the two species from each other. The apex of the outer paraproct lobe of A. beibeng sp. nov. terminates into an outcurved projection and forming prominent fork with the fingerlike apex of the median lobe (Figs. 2 a, 4 a) whereas for A. pentaspina sp. nov. the outer paraproct lobe is entirely fused with median lobe (Figs. 3 e, 4 e). The two new species also resemble two Himalayan species of the group, A. bomdilai Aubert, 1967 and A. paraluteipes, in having similarly curved ventral ridge of the epiproct, but they can be separated from them by details of paraproct as summarized in Table 2.	en	Kong, Xiangfei, Lin, Aili, Bozdoğan, Hakan, Yang, Ding, Li, Weihai (2025): Two new species of the Amphinemura luteipes species group (Plecoptera: Nemouridae) from Xizang, China.
