Dellapé, Pablo M., 2012, Redescription and generic placement of Neopamera mumfordi (Van Duzee, 1935) and Remaudiereana castanea (Van Duzee, 1935) (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Lygaeoidea: Rhyparochromidae), Zootaxa 3430, pp. 61-68 : 62

Genus Neocnemodus gen . nov. ( Figs. 1–11 )

Type species: Ptochiomera mumfordi Van Duzee, 1935 Monotypic.

Diagnosis: This genus can be distinguished from other genera with species exhibiting coleopteroid forms and lacking ocelli, such as Cnemodus and Andercnemodus, by its rather broad V-shaped pronotal collar, the strongly punctate body, and the scalloping of abdominal sterna; and from the former genus by the reduced evaporative area and the forefemoral spines reduced and arranged in single inner row; and from Andercnemodus by the enclosed mesepimeron, and the non-crenate corial margin.
