03BB87AFFFCBC6531579F8C4D702FE04.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species name represents an emendation of Kawai’s (1969) species name filigera and several of Aubert’s (1967) species names (e. g. brachyfiligera, metafiligera, parafiligera, pseudofiligera) originally proposed as species of Protonemura, but placed in Mesonemoura by Baumann (1975).	en	Sivec, Ignac, Stark, Bill P. (2009): Two New Protonemura Species From Vietnam (Plecoptera: Nemouridae). Illiesia 5 (21): 204-207, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4753171
03BB87AFFFCBC6531579F8C4D702FE04.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The epiproct and paraproct structures are very different for the three southeast Asian Protonemura species. Protonemura filigera Kawai, the species known from Thailand, has an odd, posteriorly directed dorsal filament and a pair of small comb- shaped subapical structures on the epiproct (Kawai 1969) that neither of the Vietnamese species possess. The two Vietnamese species are quite different in paraproct structure with P. fansipanensis having several stout setal-like spines on the large outer lobe (Fig. 4), whereas in P. neofiligera the outer lobe is small and the larger mesal lobe has only setae on the tips (Fig. 8). In addition, the epiproct of P. neofiligera has a prominent, anteriorly directed, apical filament (Figs. 6, 9) which is absent in P. fansipanensis. Females of the two new species are distinguished on the basis of the pregenital plate on sternum 7, present in P. neofiligera (Fig. 10) and absent in P. fansipanensis (Fig. 5).	en	Sivec, Ignac, Stark, Bill P.
