description: <i>Chinoperla rhododendrona</i> Cao &amp; Bae (Figs. 11-18) <i>Chinoperla rhododendrona</i> Cao &amp; Bae, 2007:125. Holotype &amp;male; (Aquatic Insect Collection, Seoul Women’s University), Do Quyen stream, Bach Ma National Park, Thua ThienHue Province, Vietnam <b>Material examined.</b> Vietnam: Thua Thien-Hue, Vietnam, Bach Ma National Park, small stream ca. 200 m along Five Lakes Trail, 1200 m, 16° 11’ 37.4” N, 107° 51’ 19.5” E, 4-16 June 2000, ROM 2000505, B. Hubley, 1&amp;male; (ROM). Same site, 7-16 June 2000, ROM 2000515, B. Hubley, 1 pinned &amp;female; (ROM). <b>Remarks.</b> The aedeagus of this species is shaped somewhat like that of <i>C. sila</i> and it is also similar in having the dorsal surface of the median process of tergum 9 covered with tooth-like projections (present in our specimen but not mentioned by Cao &amp; Bae, 2007). The two species differ markedly in the shape of the apical process on the dorsal aedeagal lobe, and this species appears to lack the pale wing margin found in <i>C. sila</i>. The everted sac of the aedeagus is short, has a basal membranous lobe and is armed over much of its surface with small triangular spines, not shown by Cao &amp; Bae (2007). The female, collected at the same site as our male is slightly darker but shares the same weakly banded hind leg pattern, and unlike the female of <i>C. rhododendrona</i> described by Cao &amp; Bae (2007), it lacks a mesal notch on the subgenital plate. The egg, however, is similar to that described by Cao &amp; Bae (2007). We include Figs. (11- 18) to assist in recognition of this species. <b>Remarks.</b> The aedeagus of this species is shaped somewhat like that of <i>C. sila</i> and it is also similar in having the dorsal surface of the median process of tergum 9 covered with tooth-like projections (present in our specimen but not mentioned by Cao &amp; Bae, 2007).
