03B8E17FBA15FC421396FF33FD61FD91.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: This new species resembles N. (Neotropion) marquesae (Figs. 2 - 3) in the shape of the head, antennae, thorax, and the position of the raised areas on the elytra: two in interval 2, four in interval 4 and one in each posterior ⅓ of intervals 5 and 6; in North American N. (Neotropion) clarki, two raised areas in posterior ½ of intervals 2, 4, and 6 and one at the basal ⅓ of intervals 3 and 5. Furthermore, N. (Neotropion) cleidecostae sp. nov., differs from N. (Neotropion) marquesae by characteristics given in the key.	en	Sousa, Wesley Oliveira de (2020): A new species of Neapion (Neotropion) Alonso-Zarazaga from Paraguay (Brentidae: Apioninae).
