Abstract
The genus Neoperla is for the first time recorded for Henan Province, China. Herein, we illustrate with color photographs three species, including Neoperla yaoshana sp. nov. The relationship of the new species with closely related ones is discussed and notes for two additional species presented. Neoperla is the second largest genus in the family Perlidae with 212 currently valid species worldwide (DeWalt et al. 2010, Stark and Sivec 2008). Recently, Stark and Sivec (2008) summarized the history of the genus and described 15 additional species from Vietnam. The genus is also species-rich in China where 64 species have been recorded (Du et al. 1999 and see Table 1).
