Description

Neolimnus (Neolimnus) Linnavuori, 1953

Neolimnus Linnavuori, 1953: 114.

Type: type species by original designation Scaphoideus egyptiacus Matsumura, 1908.

Neolimnus Linnavuori, 1953 (classified as Platymetopiini Haupt, 1929) in Dlabola, 1977: 257.

Diagnosis: This subgenus can be identified as follows: head subequal in width to pronotum; outer apical cell small, acuminate apically and delimited by crossvein at base; subgenital plate shorter than wide; aedeagus shorter than connective, apex symmetrical.

Notes. Species of this subgenus cannot be separated easily by external coloration and morphology, so the genital characters must be examined.
