description: <i>Kamimuria melli</i> Wu, 1935 (Fig. 4) http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Plecoptera.speciesfile.org:TaxonName:2363 <i>Kamimuria melli</i> Wu, 1935: 229. Holotype male (Zoologischen Museum, Berlin), Tong-Cuy-San, Kwangtung, China. <i>Kamimuria melli</i>: Wu, 1935: 303; Claassen, 1940: 123; Wu, 1940: 331; Zwick, 1977: 116; Du <i>et al</i>., 1999: 61; Stark &amp; Sivec, 2013: 117; Li &amp; Li, 2022: 119. <b>Amended description of adult male</b>. Head with a subquadrate dark brown ocellar patch (Fig. 4a). Tergum 8 without sensilla patch, tergum 9 with a posterior sensilla patch (Fig. 4b). Hemitergal lobes recurved, apex narrower in dorsal view and upcurved in lateral view (Figs. 4b–c). Aedeagus membranous, basal portion swollen with a medial constriction (Fig. 4f); sac is mostly membranous but apex with a pair of projecting dark brown dorsolateral sclerites covered with dense minute spines (Figs. 4d–e). A triangular dorsoapical patch of larger spines present near the paired sclerites (Figs. 4d–e), below the sclerites with a band of spinulae; medial portion bearing a large membranous lobe projecting opposite to the similar sized distal half of the sac (Figs. 4d, 4f). <b>Female and egg</b>. Unknown. <b>Examined material</b>. 1 male (CAUC), China: Guangdong Province, Huizhou City, Nankunshan, light trap, 27.7734 N, 117.6884 E, 859m, 2005.VII.2, leg. Zaifu Xu. <b>Distribution</b>. China (Guangdong Province). <b>Remarks</b>. The type locality, possibly Tonggushan (Tong-Cuy-San) at Guangzhou City, is only approximately 120 km SW of the Nankunshan where the present male was collected. The male was collected in summer, about a month earlier than the holotype. We also present new illustrations and amended descriptions of the head and tergal characters (Figs. 4a–c), making for easier identification of this species. This male is mostly identical with the original description except for darker antennae; sensilla patch only present on tergum 9 and the hemitergal lobe bearing a slightly tapering apex show that they are the same species.
