Abstract
- The larval morphology of Plecoptera is relatively insufficient in comparison with their adults. In this study, the larvae of Neofilchneria wanglanga Chen, 2019 and Skwala compacta (McLachlan 1872) from the family Perlodidae are described and illustrated based on specimens from China. The larvae of N. wanglanga and S. compacta share very similar body color patterns. Their morphological differences mainly concern the chaetotaxy of each body part and the structure of abdominal segments. Two DNA barcoding sequences are provided for the widespread S. compacta. Larval morphology provided in this study will promote the larval taxonomy and full-evidence phylogeny of Perlodidae and Plecoptera. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
