Papuaneon Maddison, 2016

Papuaneon Maddison, 2016: 438 .

Type species. Papuaneon tualapa Maddison, 2016 (by monotypy).

Revised Diagnosis. The embolus of Papuaneon arises on the dorsal-terminal side of the bulb, which may or may not be partially hidden behind the distal edge of the tegulum. The position is unlike that in Neon, whose embolus arises on the prolateral side of the bulb (Logunov 1998). As the embolus emerges from the terminal end of the bulb, it follows a path that differs between species; sometimes following a twisted path, sometimes a simple curve. The female has a swollen tarsus of the palp, and the spermatheca is divided into a smaller primary receptacle bearing the fertilization ducts, and a much larger bulbous secondary receptacle. The body is larger than usual for Neon, more hirsute.
