Amended diagnosis

Males of Neischnocolus iquitos resemble those of N. mecana by having an embolus with an acute angulation to palpal organ axis, intermediate keel without undulation, and absence of a median dorsal granular area. Nonetheless, males of N. iquitos differ from those of N. mecana by having well-developed prolateral superior and inferior keels, prolateral inferior keel being continuous, and coxae without ventral colour pattern (prolateral superior keel weakly developed, prolateral inferior keel disjunct and weakly developed, and coxae with ventral colour pattern in N. mecana ). For diagnosis of female N. iquitos see Kaderka (2020).
