Abstract

A new perlid stonefly, Chinoperla rhododendrona n. sp., is described from a tropical mountain stream in central Vietnam. The male adult of this species can be characterized by the strongly setous body and unique L-shaped genital structure. The female adult can be distinguished by the posteromedially sclerotized and widely notched subgenital plate. The egg is unique among its congeners as it has smooth chorion and long and narrow collar. Illustrations of diagnostic characters are provided.
