Abstract
Two mayfly species Prosopistoma trispinum sp.n. and P. unicolor sp.n. collected from southwestern China are described as new to science, their main diagnostic larval characters are illustrated. The larvae of P. trispinum sp. n. can be differentiated by the large number of mandibular bristles, fewer spines on the inner margins of fore tibiae and mesonotal color pattern. The larva of P. unicolor sp. n. can be distinguished by its uniform reddish brown mesothoracic carapace which has no median ridge, and by more tiny serrated foretibial bristles. New distributional records for P. annamense Soldán et Braasch in China are first provided. The habitats of Chinese Prosopistomatidae show they can live in lotic water from stream to large river.
