Bibliographic review, systematic status, and biogeographic notes on Korean and far east Russian stoneflies (Insecta: Plecoptera) with their new Korean records

Abstract

Comprehensive bibliographic sources of Plecoptera systematics in Korea and Far East Russia were provided. Systematic status and distributional features of stoneflies in those areas were also discussed. Based on comprehensive type and non‐type material examinations in those areas, new synonymies of Sweltsa colorata Zhiltzova and Levanidova, 1978 [= Sweltsa nikkoensis (Okamoto), 1912] and Capnia KUa (Yoon and Aw, 1986) [=Paracapnia recta Zhiltzova, 1984] were established; and the following species were newly recorded from Korea: Taenionema japonicum (Okamoto), Paraleuctra cercia (Okamoto), Leuctra fusca (Linnaeus), Eucapnopsis stigmatica Okamoto, Paracapnia recta Zhiltzova, Nemoura jezoensis (Okamoto), Stavsolus japonicus (Okamoto), Isoperla flavescens Zhiltzova and Potikha, Alloperla joosti Zwick, A rostellata (Klapalek), Sweltsa nikkoensis (Okamoto), and S. lepnevae Zhiltzova
