Neopachycerina Malloch, 1933

Neopachycerina Malloch, 1933: 357 . Type species, N. aristata Malloch (orig. des.).

Diagnosis: Ocellar tubercle well developed and humped; ocellar seta longer, at least at the same level of anterior margin of the frons; anterior fronto-orbital seta reclinate and reduced, shorter than posterior pair and rather close to them; antenna slightly elongate, scape shorter than pedicel and bare proximally, first flagellomere tapered to tip and about three times as long as its basal width, arista thickened by dense black short setulae both dorsally and ventrally, with some longer outstanding hairs on upper side basally. It can be distinguished from an undescribed Neotropical genus that shares a thickened arista, with short, dense hairs (undescribed genus J, Gaimari & Silva, 2010b: 990 [in couplet 84 of the key]) by the small eye, first flagellomere slender and tapering apically,and frons without a velvet black spot on central anterior margin.
