Neoperla leopoldina Navás, 1932: 284 View in CoL , fig. 83.

Navás named a specimen without abdomen from "Bomokandi (sources)". It was described as "similar to leroiana Klapálek. Larger” [our translation]. Navás claimed that placement of the ocelli, shape of prothorax, colour of legs, and wing venation distinguished his new taxon “from species close to it”. The names of the allegedly related species were not disclosed. The characters in question are all insufficient for species identification. A doubtful taxon. We did not study the type (allegedly in MRAC).
