Xanthoneuria is allied to the Calineuria-Doroneuria-Hesperoperla group of tribe Acroneuriini by virtue of the shared epiproct sclerite and irregularly spaced larval occipital spinule row. Penial armature in Calineuria and Hesperoperla consists of much heavier concentrations of thicker and longer spines (Stark & Gaufin 1974; Baumann & Stark 1980) than is present in the new genus, and that of Doroneuria is fundamentally different with the presence of a large dorsal sclerite (Stark & Gaufin 1974). Eggs of Xanthoneuria lack a collar which distinguishes them from eggs of Calineuria and Hesperoperla (Stark & Gaufin 1976); the eggs are generally similar to those of Doroneuria (Stark & Gaufin 1976) but the females of that genus lack a developed subgenital plate. Larvae of the new genus are distinct from related genera by several characters, most notably in the presence of pale pigment over most of the abdominal terga.	en	Uchida, Shigekazu, Stark, Bill P., Sivec, Ignac (2011): Xanthoneuria, A New Genus Of Stonefly (Plecoptera: Perlidae) From Japan.
