Type species. Upogebia (Neogebicula) alaini Sakai, 1982 .

Diagnosis. Rostrum triangular with rounded tip, longer than wide. First pereopod simple or subchelate, slender, fixed finger in females very small. Pleomere 6 longer than wide, longer than pleomere 2. Uropodal rami slender, leaf-like; exopod 3–4 times as long as wide, 2–3 times as long as telson.

Remarks. The differences between Neogebicula and Paragebicula as given by Sakai (2006, 2010b, 2011b) and Liu & Liu (2010b) are not observable over the range of morphologies of the species included and we consider Paragebicula a synonym of Neogebicula .
