Abstract
Background: Plecoptera (stoneflies) are an ancient order of aquatic insects that serve as vital bioindicators in freshwater ecosystems. This study focuses on the Greater Khingan Mountains in north-eastern China, a biodiversity hotspot with limited stonefly research. By documenting new genera and species records, it expands our knowledge of Chinese Plecoptera. The findings enhance biogeographical and ecological insights into this underexplored region.
New information: This paper records five families, six genera and seven species of stoneflies from the Greater Khingan Mountains, among them Diura Billberg, 1820 and Megarcys Klapálek, 1912 as new Chinese-recorded genera and seven species recorded for the first time in China, including Isocapniakudia Ricker, 1959, Paraleuctrazapekinae Zhiltzova, 1974, Nemouraarctica Esben-Petersen, 1910, Nemourasirotskii Teslenko, 2018, Diuramajuscula (Klapálek, 1912), Megarcysochracea (Klapálek, 1912) and Utaperlalepnevae (Zhiltzova, 1970). The research materials were from the northern part of the Greater Khingan Mountains in north-eastern China, including parts of Heilongjiang Province and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

期刊介绍:
Biodiversity Data Journal (BDJ) is a community peer-reviewed, open-access, comprehensive online platform, designed to accelerate publishing, dissemination and sharing of biodiversity-related data of any kind. All structural elements of the articles – text, morphological descriptions, occurrences, data tables, etc. – will be treated and stored as DATA, in accordance with the Data Publishing Policies and Guidelines of Pensoft Publishers.
The journal will publish papers in biodiversity science containing taxonomic, floristic/faunistic, morphological, genomic, phylogenetic, ecological or environmental data on any taxon of any geological age from any part of the world with no lower or upper limit to manuscript size.
