Genus Neorhaphidophora Gorochov, 1999

Entomologicheskoe Obozrenie, 77(1), 74.

Type species: Neorhaphidophora valentinae Gorochov, 1999 , by original designation Diagnosis This genus is easily distinguished from the other genera of Rhaphidophorinae by the following characteristics: male abdominal tergites without distinct processes or projections; male epiproct is strongly modified, i.e. with a pair of proximal or subproximal processes (lobes) directed backwards or upwards, and with the distal part strongly curved downwards and forwards (thus, its apex is almost inserted into the anal or genital cavity); male genitalia with ventrolateral lobes appear very long (distinctly longer than other genital lobes) in imago and old nymphs.
