Comments. Remm and Elberg (1980) stated Homoneura ( Homoneura) patella Shewell, 1971 was a synonym of Homoneura ( Homoneura) patelliformis ( Becker, 1895) . But Papp (1984a) proposed these two species are not conspecific by the distinct differences of male genitalia. Subsequently, Falk (1994) noted that Homoneura ( H.) patella could be separated from Homoneura ( H.) patelliformis by having much larger cerci and lacking the bifurcate hypandrial appendage. Finally Shatalkin (2000) suggested that Homoneura ( H.) patella was an east Palaearctic species while Homoneura ( H.) patelliformis was an European species.
