Bill P. Stark & Ignac Sivec
Illiesia 2010 6(05):41-51. (5 March 2010)
ABSTRACT
Eight new species of Amphinemura are recognized based on specimens collected in Vietnam. New taxa include A. bifurcata sp. n., A. caoae sp. n., A. divergens sp. n., A. giay sp. n., A. meyi sp. n., A. sapa sp. n., A. tamdao sp.n. and A. viet sp. n. A single male specimen of A. gressitti Kawai and a male and female of A. hainana Li & Yang are also reported and two species based on unassociated females are described under informal designations. A preliminary key for males of Amphinemura known for Vietnam is presented.

Studies on Sweltsa townesi and a new species, Sweltsa salix, from northern California (Plecoptera: Chloroperlidae).
Jonathan J. Lee & Richard W. Baumann
Illiesia 2010 6(04):34-40. (2 March 2010)
ABSTRACT
Sweltsa townesi is redescribed and refigured using scanning electron micrographs and available records are provided from its known range in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California and Nevada. Sweltsa salix sp. n. from the Klamath River drainage in the Coast Range and the upper Sacramento River drainage of California is described for the male and female, and compared with its closest congener, S. townesi.

Two new species of stoneflies in the Leuctra ferruginea group (Plecoptera: Leuctridae), with notes on the Leuctra species known for Mississippi and Alabama, U.S.A.
Audrey B. Harrison and Bill P. Stark
Illiesia 2010 6(03):16-33. (26 February 2010)
ABSTRACT
Leuctra colemanorum sp.n. and L. hicksi sp.n. are proposed from Mississippi specimens and compared to related members of the L. ferruginea (Walker) complex. Leuctra colemanorum is placed in the L. ferruginea subgroup and L. hicksi is placed in the L. rickeri James subgroup. Comparative SEM images are provided for L. alabama James, L. ferruginea, L. paleo Poulton & Stewart, L. rickeri and L. szczytkoi Stark & Stewart, and updates are provided for the Leuctra species lists for Mississippi and Alabama. The first records of L. triloba Claassen from Alabama, L. ferruginea for Louisiana and Tennessee, and L. carolinensis Claassen for Mississippi are presented. Potential synonymies of L. rickeri with L. alabama and L. paleo with L. szczytkoi are suggested.

The larva of Paracapnia disala (Jewett) (Plecoptera: Capniidae).
Kenneth W. Stewart
Illiesia 2010 6(02):11-15. (19 February 2010)
ABSTRACT
The larva of Paracapnia disala (Jewett) was associated from two first order headwater streams in the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, Oregon, U.S.A. Larvae of this first western Paracapnia species to be associated, were studied and compared morphologically with those of the eastern Paracapnia angulata Hanson to determine if it conforms with proposed generic characters and if it has specific diagnostic characters. Habitus and character drawings and SEM’s of P. disala and P. angulata larval mouthparts are presented. Wingpad presence/absence and ventral lacinial comb hair differences between the two species are diagnostic.

Studies on Korean stoneflies (Insecta: Plecoptera) with descriptions of two new species.
Bill P. Stark
Illiesia 2010 6(01):1-10. (2 February 2010)
ABSTRACT
Two new species, Kathroperla doma sp.n. (Chloroperlidae) and Perlodes kippenhani sp.n. (Perlodidae), are recognized, the female and egg are described for Kamimuria zwicki Stark & Sivec, and new Korean records are given for Kiotina decorata (Zwick), Neoperla ussurica Sivec & Zhiltzova, Oyamia nigribasis Banks, Yoraperla han Stark & Nelson and Y. uchidai Stark & Nelson. The description of K. doma represents the first Asian record of genus Kathroperla. An updated checklist of 44 formally named plecopterans recorded from the Republic of Korea is presented.
