84582168FF844A09FE60FBEE964BFB57.taxon	description	Description Adult habitus Head dark brown; three ocelli, the distance between two posterior ocelli is twice the distance to the compound eye; antennae and palpi brown; pronotum brown, rectangular with rounded corners; legs brown; wings light brown, veins brown. Male (Figures 1 – 3) Body length 5.5 – 6 mm. The tenth tergite partly cleft; supra-anal process produced backward into a recurved hook; sub-anal lobe process produced backward into a slender recurved sharp spine-like structure, best seen in lateral view. Subgenital plate is normally covered with dense long setae. Cerci modified into a chitinized bifurcated process and covered with less dense, short hairs, upper arm sharp, pointed and bearing a small, ventrally directed mesal spine, whereas the lower arm is rounded or somewhat truncate with an emarginated apex. The ninth sternum produced backward. Ventral lobe small, almost rounded, with many hairs at the lower part. Female (Figure 4) Sterna 1 – 7 sclerotized mesally and along lateral margins. Sterna 8 forms a long rectangular subgenital plate covered with dense long setae, extending across sternum 9, with a V-shaped apical notch, and at the end with a few longer setae.

84582168FF844A09FE60FBEE964BFB57.taxon	etymology	Etymology The species name refers to the cercal shape in lateral aspect.	en	Du, Yu-Zhou, Qian, Yu-Han (2012): Paraleuctra cervicornis (Plecoptera: Leuctridae), a new stonefly from China. Journal of Natural History 46 (17 - 18): 1059-1063, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2011.651648, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00222933.2011.651648
84582168FF844A09FE60FBEE964BFB57.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis This new species is the same as other Paraleuctra species of China; the subgenital plates of both male and female with dense setae. However, shape of cerci of male and the subgenital plate of female are unique among all Asian Paraleuctra species; this seems to be a good diagnostic character.
