However, the taxonomy of Chinese Sinacroneuria has not been comprehensively revised, resulting in difficulties in species identification. In this study, we conducted a systematic review of the Chinese species based on morphological characters. Before the present study, Sinacroneuria comprised 20 described species worldwide, 18 of which were recorded from China. The five new species bring these totals to 25 species worldwide and 23 in China, representing increases of 25 percent and 27.8 percent, respectively. All Chinese species are diagnosed, and five new species, S. dayaoshan sp. nov., S. fengyanghu sp. nov., S. magnimaculata sp. nov., S. similiwui sp. nov., and S. yunjishan sp. nov., are described. An updated identification key to all Chinese species is also provided. These results improve our understanding of the diversity and taxonomy of Sinacroneuria and provide an important taxonomic reference for future biodiversity, ecological, and biomonitoring studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/insects17080826","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,10]],"date-time":"2026-08-10T10:23:50Z","timestamp":1786357430000},"page":"826","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Review of the Genus Sinacroneuria (Plecoptera: Perlidae) from China, with Descriptions of Five New Species"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7009-7413","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yingying","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Key Laboratory of Agric-Environment and Agric-Products Safety and National Demonstration Center for Experimental Plant Science Education, Agricultural College, Guangxi University, Nanning 530004, China"},{"name":"Henan International Joint Laboratory of Taxonomy and Systematic Evolution of Insecta, Henan Institute of Science and Technology, Xinxiang 453003, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5607-498X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ruijun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Henan International Joint Laboratory of Taxonomy and Systematic Evolution of Insecta, Henan Institute of Science and Technology, Xinxiang 453003, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1693-1654","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guoquan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Key Laboratory of Agric-Environment and Agric-Products Safety and National Demonstration Center for Experimental Plant Science Education, Agricultural College, Guangxi University, Nanning 530004, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-9337-1779","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Keda","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Dayaoshan National Nature Reserve Management Center, Laibin 545703, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2803-4416","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Weihai","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Henan International Joint Laboratory of Taxonomy and Systematic Evolution of Insecta, Henan Institute of Science and Technology, Xinxiang 453003, China"},{"name":"Observation and Research Station on Water Ecosystem in Danjiangkou Reservoir of Henan Province, Nanyang 474450, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"DeWalt, R.E., Hopkins, H., Neu-Becker, U., and Stueber, G.
