discussion
Comments. Navás (1924) proposed a new Japanese species Perla (Kamimuria) flavata, and later (Navás 1933), proposed Kamimuria flavata as a new Chinese species. The second name is an invalid secondary homonym (Zwick, in litt.) and also, based on the similar female subgenital plate structure, and similar head pattern, S. orientalis is a junior synonym of K. flavata, however Sinacroneuria orientalis remains the currently valid name and K. flavata is removed from the list of valid Sinacroneuria in Table 1.
