Description

Forewing length ca. 14.8 mm. General body color brown. Distance between ocelli nearly as wide as diameter of ocellus. Head slightly wider than pronotum, with a small triangular interocellar patch and another black triangular patch on frons (Fig. 4A); compound eyes dark; antennae dark brown. Pronotum pale brown with darker anterior and median stripes (Fig. 4A); wing membrane pale brown, veins dark; legs yellowish brown, distal fourth of femora, basal fifth of tibiae and tarsi darker (Fig. 4C). Terminalia. Process of tergum 7 forming a large subquadrate plateau, mostly covered with dense sensilla basiconica patches but with few sensilla basiconica at margins (Fig. 4B). Tergum 8 with an upcurved tongue-shaped process, with sparse ventral tiny spines. Tergum 9 without sensilla basiconica patches. Hemitergal lobes slender and curved laterally near midlength (Fig. 4B). Aedeagal tube plump (length 3× width at basal bulb), ventrally with a mesal bifurcate lobe bearing a basal common stem, dorsal surface heavily sclerotized, the pigmentation slightly expanded mesolaterally, membranous sac 1.5× as long as tube and gradually curved ventrad to form a loop; sharp to stout small spines occur along dorsal surface toward apex (Figs 4D, E, 5). Zwick & Sivec defined the bulb side of the tube as being ventral, however, the sac of the new species forms a loop so that the spines of apical half of the dorsal surface are actually ventrally directed; we herein discuss dorsal or ventral surfaces of the sac as if it were straight, as such in Neoperla flagellata Li & Murányi (Li et al. 2012) and Neoperla monacha Stark & Sivec (Stark and Sivec 2008). Female. Unknown.
