Abstract

Imagos of Rhithrogena (Tumungula) unica subgen. n., sp. n. from Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, China, have a series of unique characteristics. Male imagos have a hypertrophied foreclaw and a first tarsal segment ≈1.5 times the length of the second. The male styliger plate has two sharp projections, and the penis lobes are divergent without titillators but with spiny median lobes. Nymphal characters are those of the genus as presently defined: three caudal filaments and gills modified to form an adhesive disc.
