Etymology: new genus name derived from the original genus name
Proterpia
with a prefix
neo
- – “new.” The gender is feminine.
Note: Although the genus name
Proterpia
Gistel, 1848
was not used as valid after 1899, ICZN article 23.9.1 cannot be applied to preserve the name
Proterpia
Stål, 1867
because, to the best of our knowledge, the latter was not used in 25 works, published by 10 authors.
Included species:
Neoproterpia rotundicornis
(
Fairmaire, 1846:314
)
comb.nov.
(orig. gen.
Hemiptycha
)
Neoproterpia truncaticornis
