ABSTRACT
A new species of Isoperla, I. evanescens, is described from the Appalachian Mountains of Virginia and West Virginia, U.S.A. The new species is proposed based on details of the male aedeagus, paraprocts, vesicle, general body coloration, female subgenital plate, and uniqueness of the chorion of the ovum. Supporting data includes scanning electron micrographs and color images.
Keywords: Plecoptera, stonefly, Perlodidae, Isoperla, Appalachian Mountains, Virginia, West Virginia

ABSTRACT
A new species of the perlid genus Anacroneuria, A. barbai sp. nov., is described and illustrated based on male specimens from Tabasco, Mexico. The presence of A. pallida Jewett, 1958 is confirmed for Mexico and a complementary description of the female and egg provided. A complementary description of the male and female of A. quadriloba Jewett is also provided as is a new distribution record for the widespread A. litura (Pictet, 1841). Brief comments on the current knowledge of the distribution and descriptions of adults and larvae of all Anacroneuria known to inhabit Mexico are included.

ABSTRACT
Leptoperla tsyrlini sp. n. (Holotype male, Victoria, Casterton, Glenelg River at Sanford-Bahgallah Road, -37.61922, 141.42864, 15-Oct-2013) is described from the Glenelg catchment of southwestern Victoria, Australia. Mitochondrial DNA, using a 657 bp region of the cytochrome c oxidase I gene, was used to associate the adult male of this new species with the larval form. The new species is compared to its most similar congener, L. neboissi McLellan, 1971.

ABSTRACT
A new species is proposed for the leuctrid genus Moselia Ricker based primarily on scanning electron micrographs of male paraprocts. Moselia zonata, sp. n. is recognized from southern Oregon, Nevada and northern California. A diagnosis is provided to assist in identification of adult M. infuscata (Claassen) and M. zonata sp. n. The distribution of both species is summarized.

Dates, validity and spelling of Japanese stoneflies (Plecoptera) described by Shonen Matsumura.

http://zoobank.org/ urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:E4A2ABFD-0D5D-43E8-86B8-78DBC215DAE3
ABSTRACT
Information in Matsumura (1931a) reveals the actual publication dates of the previously named Nemoura japonica Matsumura 1904 and Dictyopterygella frequens Matsumura 1905. Nemoura japonica Needham 1905 is recognized as a primary junior homonym, and Nemoura hikosan Shimizu is proposed as new replacement name for the species. Also, Rhabdiopteryx japonica Okamoto 1922 is synonymized with Nemoura japonica Matsumura. Some of Matsumura’s specific names were misspelled in the literature, the correct original spelling are: Nemoura japonica, Dictyopterygella frequens, Nemoura humeralis, Nemoura sachalinensis, Nemoura hirayamai and Apteroperla yazawai.
