Neosteingelia Morrison View in CoL View at ENA
Neosteingelia Morrison, 1927: 101 . Morrison (1927) considered that Neosteingelia was related to Kuwania and placed it in the Kuwaniini , Margarodinae . Williams (1969) pointed out that the familygroup name should not be credited to Cockerell (as in Morrison & Morrison (1966) but to MacGillivray (1921). In their preliminary phylogenetic analysis of the Margarodidae sensu Morrison, Hodgson & Foldi (2005) found Neosteingelia to be close to Xylococcus . Unfortunately, no males of Kuwania could be located during this study. Certainly, the males of Neosteingelia show little similarity to the Margarodini (sensu Morrison ) but do show some similarities to the Callipappidae, discussed below.
Whilst studying material labelled Neosteingelia texana Morrison , it was discovered that the material from Virginia was composed of two easily separable species.
