Abstract

Research on the fauna of stoneflies the family Nemouridae and Perlidae in Tam Dao National Park, Vinh Phuc province was conducted quite early. However, records of these groups were published in scattered papers. The results from this article for the first time provide the most updated and complete data on the composition of stoneflies in the family Nemouridae and Perlidae in Tam Dao National Park, Vinh Phuc province. The results show that, up to the time of publication, 6 species of the family Nemouridae belonging to 3 genera and 25 species of the family Perlidae belonging to 10 genera have been recorded in Tam Dao National Park, Vinh Phuc province. In this study, Nemoura apicalis Sivec & Stark, 2010 was a new record for Tam Dao National Park. Among the 31 species of stoneflies collected, 22 species are endemic to Vietnam, and 11 are endemic to the study area. In particular, Phanoperla sp. may be a new species to science. Now, the specimens of this species have only been found in Tam Dao National Park, Vinh Phuc province. The quantitative comparison of stonefly communities between riffle and pool habitats showed that the average number of species and the average number of individuals in riffle habitats were higher than in pool habitats (α = 0.05)
