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 ( Goding, 1930:15 ) comb.nov. (orig. gen. Proterpia )
