“…The Isoperlinae Tibetisoperla present remarkable morphological differences from other genera of this subfamily (Huo & Du 2021). Together with the finding of these two additional species, bilobate posterior half of tergum 10 with large apical setae and a spiny apical sclerite of paraproct appear consistent with the type species, and should be considered the generic characters.…”

“…The new species closely resembles T. wangluyui Huo & Du, 2021 in dark body coloration and reduced vesicle on sternum 8, but it is easily separated from that species by the large ventrobasal sclerite of aedeagus which is entirely membranous in T. wangluyui.…”

“…Specimens were examined with the aid of a Leica S8APO dissecting microscope and the color photographs were made with a Leica M205FA. The morphological terminology follows that of Huo & Du (2021).…”

“…The perlodid genus Tibetisoperla Huo & Du, 2021 was recently erected as a monotypic genus for Tibetisoperla wangluyui Huo & Du, 2021 under the subfamily Isoperlinae Frison, 1942(DeWalt et al 2021. The males of this genus were characterized by having a simplified aedeagus, a spiny apical sclerite of paraproct, divided tergum 10 and reduced vesicle (Huo & Du 2021), presently it is confined to Tibet Autonomous Region of southwestern China. The females cannot be distinguished from related genera.…”

“…It differs from the Isoperlinae and Perlodinae in having a more developed wing venation (e.g., RP with three branches). Based on the original diagnosis of the family (Klapálek, 1909), our specimen differs from perlodid stoneflies in having a pronotum whose sides are not parallel, a character state found in numerous extant species (Huo and Du, 2021).…”

A survey of keys for the identification of newly described insect genera: recommendations for authors, reviewers, editors, and publishers

Large numbers of new taxa are described annually and while there is a great need to make them identifiable, there seems little consistency in how this might be facilitated. 427 papers published in 2021 and 2022 were surveyed, which described 587 new insect genera. Only 136 of these papers included keys, and these allowed the identification of 233 of the new genera (31.9% of papers and 39.7% of the new genera). The proportion of papers that included a key varied significantly among insect orders but not among the handful of journals wherein the bulk of the new genera were described. Overall, for 17 key-related variables assessed in a binary fashion (optimal vs suboptimal), the average key had almost six criteria that were scored as being suboptimal. For example, less than one-fifth facilitated retracing and less than 12% had illustrated keys where the images were conveniently located close to the relevant key couplets. Progress towards confirming a putative identification was possible in all papers, through the inclusion of a diagnosis, habitus images, or both. Based upon this analysis, and expanding on previous suggestions for key construction, 23 recommendations are made on how to make an identification key maximally useful for users and I indicate the relative ease with which each could be adhered to. Identification keys should accompany all new taxon descriptions, guidelines for effective key construction should be added to journals’ instructions to authors, editors and reviewers should check keys carefully, and publishers should be attentive to the needs of users through, for example, permitting duplication of images to make keys easier to use. Recommendations are likely relevant to all levels in the taxonomic hierarchy for all organisms, despite the data being derived from generic-level keys for insects.
