abstract = {Currently, information on the biology of Plecoptera from China is scarce, particularly
on mating behavior. In this paper, the existence of mating mistakes (erroneous mating attempts)
involving 13 Chinese stonefly species (belonging to nine genera and three families) is reported. These
erroneous mating behaviors can be included into three different categories: mating attempts between
conspecific males (including the formation of erroneous mating balls), mating attempts between
different taxa (including displacement attempts during copulation), and mating-related behaviors
with non-living objects. From these behaviors, some aspects of stoneflies during mating, such as
the physical competition between males, the sensorial mechanisms implied in triggering a mating
behavior, the conditions favoring the mating mistakes, and the possible consequences of interspecific
mating in the hybrid production, are discussed.},
