An additional unidentified specimen, Filchneria sp. is recorded from Heilongjiang Province of northeastern China. Two other perlodid genera, Arcynopteryx Klapálek, 1904 and Pictetiella Illies, 1966 are newly reported from China. The macropterous form of A. polaris Klapálek, 1912 and P. asiatica Zwick Levanidova, 1971 are reported from Jilin Province of northeastern China for the first time. Finally, an updated checklist and adult key to genera of Perlodidae known from China are provided.
