Styloperla obtusispina

Styloperla obtusispina (Wu, 1973) Nogiperla obtusispina: Wu, 1973: 109. Styloperla obtusispina: Uchida & Isobe, 1989:158; Stark & Sivec, 2007: 15; Yang & Li, 2018: 55. Distribution: Sichuan. Remarks: Species status still unknown. In the original illustrations by Wu (1973), the short cercal spines look more similar to the Cerconychia Klapálek, 1913 (Fig. 4). The generic placement of this species is unresolved. Fresh material of this species needs to be collected from its type locality, Mt. Emei, Sichuan Province, for further study.
