The genus as understood herein, includes species that do not agree with this combination of characters, some of which have the preoccipital carina absent/faint to strongly carinate/ lamellate, paraocular angle variable from obtuse (absent) to forming a right angle, and inner metatibial spur pectinate but variable in shape and number of teeth.</p><p>Diagnosis</p><p>The genus Neocorynura in the present sense is well supported by the following putative synapomorphies and by the combination of some additional characters.</p><p>The synapomorphies for the genus include: a labral process on anterior margin, metabasitibial plate elongated, sometimes covered with setae; and the pores on the surface of the galea uniformly distributed.</p><p>Some other characters that in combination help in recognizing the genus include, in the females: integument of interantennal area imbricate and punctate, second submarginal cell wider than long, mandible mostly dark, sometimes with clear apex, mesotibial spur almost straight, first labial palpomere as long as the combined lengths of the following two, and glossa elongate and narrowly pointed. In males: dorsal surface of volsella acute or with hump, pores on S5 uniformly distributed across entire surface, and the posterior margin of T6 rounded.</p><p>1. “ seeleyi species group” (= former Neocorynurella)</p><p>Neocorynura seeleyi (Engel and Klein), new combination Neocorynura viridis (Engel and Klein), new combination</p><p>2. “ joannisi species group” (= former Andinaugochlora s.str.)

It differs from them in having a protuberant, rounded medial process of the labrum that covers most of its apex; the paraocular lobe angular; the presence of a postoccipital carina; and in having a single row of coarse setae on the metabasitibial plate. Neocorynura miae also looks similar to the other species groups of Neocorynura, but it can be separated from them by the shape of the labral process, the shape of the metabasitibial plate, and by the form of the inner metatibial spur.</p><p>Description</p><p>Female (Holotype).
