Four new nemourid species, Amphinemura rai n. sp., Amphinemura baei n. sp., Protonemura villosa n. sp., and Nemoura espera n. sp. are described and illustrated. Amphinemura rai n. sp. closely resembles Amphinemura tragula (Kimmins) externally, but differs from Amphinemura tragula by the projections on male terminalia and the shape of the female subgenital plate. Amphinemura baei n. sp. is similar to A. bulla Shimizu in body color, size, and structure of male and female terminalia, but distinguished by the ventral sclerites of epiproct, the knobs on the sides of the epiproct, and the shape of paraprocts. Protonemura villosa n. sp. is similar to p. hotakana Ueno in body color, size, and the structure of terminalia, but distinguished by the epiproctal flagellum and ventral sclerite, the shape of the tenth tergum. Finally, Nemoura espera n.sp. is close to Nemoura alabeli Zhilt-zova In appearance, but differs by the shape and location of the ventral and dorsal sclerites of the epiproct.

Korean Plecopteran research was started in 1921, and it has advanced greatly during last 20 years. Among families the family Nemouridae and Chloroperlidae are composed of plentiful species. Since North Korean Plecopteran research was begun in 1938, it made good progress by foreigners not North Korean in the 1970's. Subsequently a few species has been added up recently, and among families the family Perlidae and Nemouridae contain most abundant species. Totally Korean Plecoptera consists of 43 species in 25 genera in 10 families, and North Korean 37 species in 26 genera in 10 families. Among them 13 species are common in both. And Korean names of Plecopteran species were mixed in Hangeul-type and Chinese-type, on the other hand in North Korean names there were some cases of Hangeul-type, but most of species have no Korean names. In Korea, particularly Ministry of Environment designated and controlled domestic biological resources as Korean Species that Require Approval when shipping abroad and Korean endemic species, which include 9 species and 11 species in Plecoptera respectively. Finally two genera and four species gained new Korean names as follows: genus Megaleuctra (Keun-Kkoma-Gang-Do-Rae-Sok), genus Haploperla (Han-Nok-Saek-Gang-Do-Rae-Sok), Nemoura brevicercia (Min-Gang-Do-Rae), Nemoura espera (Kkot-Min-Gang-Do-Rae), Amphinemura baei (Je-Ju-A-Ga-Mi-Min-GangDo-Rae) and Amphinemura rai (A-Ga-Mi-Min-Gang-Do-Rae).
