Diagnosis. Small to medium-sized (less than 40 mm .), body color mostly dark brown (fig. 15), some species presenting a lighter color. Trochanter blade elongated across apical fifth to apical half of process, dactyls of fore tibia slightly elongated and with convex apex (fig. 17). Cerci of the male shorter than the pronotum. Phallic complex: apical sclerite of the epiphallus pronounced and three or four times as long as it is wide. Antero-apical process of ectophallus pedunculate and sclerotized, almost as long as the apical process (figs. 32–33). Etymology. From Latin— neo (: new), in apposition to Scapteriscus . Type species. Neoscapteriscus didactylus ( Latreille, 1804 ) . Comments. In this new genus, the species from Scapteriscus s. l. , are placed, which are distinct from Scapteriscus s. s. both in external and genital morphology.
