Ergebnisse der Bhutan-Expedition 1972 des Naturhistorischen Museums in Basel. Plecoptera

Abstract Stoneflies (Plecoptera) of 5 families belonging to at least 33 different species are recorded from Bhutan, from where Plecoptera had not been known previously. Only 6 of these could be identified with formerly known species while 18 species are first named. The identity of several additional species remains doubtful for lack of adequate material or descriptions of taxa named earlier. Nemoura auberti is proposed as replacement name for N. schmidi AUBERT, 1967, (nec N. schmidi AUBERT, 1959); Leuctra indica NEEDHAM, 1909, is transferred to genus Nemoura. New diagnoses are given for the leuctrid genera Rhopalopsole and Perlomyia and placement of several of their species is changed.
