Neocatocha Felt 

 1912 Felt, E. P. N. Y. Ent. Soc. Jour., 20:236 



This remarkable form has the venation of Catocha and the 

 greatly reduced antennae of Microcerata, from which latter it is 

 easily distinguished by the normal second antennal segment. The 

 short, sessile, flagellate antennal segments and the characteristic 

 venation serve to separate this genus from Neptunimyia. Type N. 

 marilandica.
