Treatment

Neopleurophora Brown View in CoL (total of one photo of one mating event examined: Figure 4A View Figure 4 )

Neopleurophora has high species-specific variation in the hypopygium and phallus morphology, but no other significant sexually dimorphic features ( Ament and Amorim 2013).

The only photo we could examine of the mating of this genus shows a standard mating position.
