Neomacleaya Theobald, 1907

The following combinations of characters distinguish species of Neomacleaya from those of subgenera Harbachius and Verrallina. ADULTS ‒ Eyes contiguous or nearly contiguous dorsally; mesepimeron with fine hair-like setae posterior and/or ventral to scale-patch; hindungues of both females and males simple. FEMALE GENITALIA ‒ Tergum VIII short, wider than long, index about 0.35-0.57, nearly entirely covered with broad scales; sternum VIII with numerous thin setae on apical lobes, largely covered with broad scales; postgenital lobe relatively narrow, with deep median caudal indentation; upper vaginal lip with median posterior area caudad of spermathecal eminence developed into large vertical shield; lower vaginal sclerite large, not contiguous with lower vaginal lip, usually spiculate; insula ill-defined, small, with few minute tuberculi; spermathecal eminence complex, with numerous well-developed spicules (less well-developed in Ve. indica, Ve. panayensis and Ve. rara), without cephalad pouch. MALE GENITALIA ‒ Gonocoxite with moderately broad basotergal apodeme; prosophallus consisting of pair of sclerites separated apically, about as long as phallus; phallus comprised of a pair of aedeagal sclerites joined mesally by sternal bridge, each sclerite with narrow projection basolaterally extending at approximately right angle; opisthophallus short, caudal margin truncate or concave; paramere about as long as phallus. LARVAE ‒ Seta 1-A with 3–6 branches (rarely double); seta 7-C with 5–17 branches (usually 7‒14); seta 8-C branched; seta 13-C short, with 2–6 branches (usually 3–5); seta 7-I long, double or triple; comb scales with stout median apical spine and smaller lateral denticles; seta 2-X multi-branched (with 5 or more branches). PUPAE ‒ Cephalothorax with moderately developed ocular facets of compound eye; trumpet usually expanded apically; seta 2-IV‒VI usually thin, inserted more caudad than seta 4; seta 9-VIII usually single or double.
