Holotype
description.
Head and thorax (color).
Color pattern very similar to that in
Japanagallia hamata
Zhang & Li
excepting spots on crown fused with each other forming black band, and legs with larger black areas.
Morphology.
Similar to
J
.
hamata
Zhang & Li
, but more slender.
Male genitalia:
Pygofer (
Fig. 25
), in lateral view, broad basally, caudal margin subrounded, with spine-like processes caudodorsally (
Fig. 26
) directed mesally, and several stout and short setae. Valve and subgenital plates (
Fig. 25
), in lateral view similar to
J
.
hamata
Zhang & Li. Style
(
Fig. 27
), constricted at middle, expanded, and bearing a
lamellate
process subapically on outer margin, apex of inner arm slightly expanded. Connective (
Fig. 28
), elongate, broader basally than apically, distal margin rounded. Aedeagus (
Figs 29–30
), in lateral view, with dorsal apodeme elongated and angulate; preatrium well developed and tumid, bearing pair of slender processes on caudal margin, long and directed dorsolaterally; shaft with forked process at base, and respectively with pair of spine-like processes below gonopore on dorsal and ventral margins, dorsal margin sinuate; apical half of shaft elongate, tapered apically beyond gonopore and curved; gonopore subapical.

Distribution.
China
(Guizhou Province, and Guangxi Autonomous Region).
Remarks.
This species is very similar to
J
.
hamata
Zhang & Li
in color and form, and was misidentified as that species by
Viraktamath,
et al.
(2012)
, but it can be distinguished from the latter by the slender body; the pygofer lobe bearing a pair of spinelike caudodorsal processes directed mesad; the aedeagal shaft possessing additional processes; and the well developed preatrium of the aedeagus bearing a pair of slender processes.
Etymology.
The new species name, “
neo
” and “
hamata
”, refers to the similarity to
J
.
hamata
Zhang & Li.
