Genus Neureclipsis McLachlan, 1864

Type species.

Phryganea bimaculata Linnaeus, 1758.

Description and diagnosis.

Ocelli absent. Filiform antennae no longer than forewings. Maxillary palps each five-segmented with 1st and 2nd segments much shorter than 3rd segment, terminal segment longest, annulated, and flexible. Neureclipsis species have complete wing venations with apical forks I, II, III, (IV), V on forewings and apical forks I, II, III, V on hind wings. In fore- and hind wings, fork I petiolate, fork II sessile, discoidal cell subtriangular, closed, crossvein m sloping. In forewings medial and thyridial cells usually present. Tibial spur formula 3/4/4.

Neureclipsis is distinguished from all other polycentropodid genera, except Neucentropus , by the presence of folk III in the hind wings. The following three new Neureclipsis species differ in their forewing lengths and in the number of their flagellomeres but are characterized especially by the male genitalia, clearly in the inferior appendages, which are one-segmented, long, and monolobed.
