Type species
Neolindus religans ( Sharp, 1876) View in CoL , designated by monotypy.
Diagnosis (modified from Herman 1991)
Neolindus View in CoL is distinguished from all Paederinae View in CoL genera due to the following combination of characters: head with 1 ( Fig. 2A–B View Fig ) or 2 pairs of trichobothria ( Fig. 2C–D View Fig ); maxillary palpomere 4 nipple-shaped (Supp. file 1, Supp. file 2); mesothoracic peritreme small; 1 pair of paratergites on segment III present; paratergites absent on segments IV–VIII; tergite and sternite IV–VI fused into cylinder ( Figs 4–24A View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig View Fig ).

ABDOMEN. Surface without microsculpture, micropunctures varying in density from high to low, arranged randomly. Sternite II narrow and fused to sternite III; posterior margin of sternite II with row of setae. Sternite III with central longitudinal keel. Segment III with 1 pair of paratergites. Segments III–VI with straight posterior margin. Segments IV–VI with fused tergite and sternite forming cylinder. Abdominal segments III–IX sometimes with internal canals at base of sternite and tergite. Tergite IX with straight apices, fused or divided medially. No glandular openings in intersegmental membranes. Males: segment VII and VIII with tergite and sternite separate, posterior margin of various form, varies between species; aedeagus, median lobe oval to triangular, basal foramen acentric, near to base of median lobe, with asymmetrical appendages; some species with complex of movable sclerites at apex around opening of median foramen. Females: usually lack of emargination on abdominal segments VII and VIII, sometimes present, but shallow, always shallower than in respective male.
Distribution and habitat
Neolindus can be found in various localities across South and Central America. Central America ranges from south of Mexico in Chiapas, to Panama, including records from Honduras, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua. In South America, Neolindus is known from Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Suriname, Guyana, and French Guiana, with the Bolivian department Pando being the southernmost occurrence ( Fig. 3 View Fig ). Species of Neolindus are typically found in forest leaf litter at altitudes ranging from 2 ( N. utriensis Guzman, Tokareva & Żyła sp. nov.) to 2900 m a.s.l. ( N. campbelli Herman, 1991 ).
Key to males of species of Neolindus Scheerpeltz, 1933
The identification of species of Neolindus mainly relies on features of the aedeagus, while females remain unknown for most of the described species of Neolindus . Therefore, the key is adapted only for male specimens identification and is modified from Asenjo (2011). The Peruvian species N. amazonicus Irmler, 1981, N. hanagarthi Irmler, 1981 , and N. peruvianus Irmler, 1981 are excluded from the key because they are known only from females.
