Remarks
- Systematics: This genus was established and described from the adult male only. It is mainly distinguished in that segments 4,5 and 6 (of the seven-segmented antenna) each bears a lateral branch, that is longer than segment 7 (Foldi, 1999). Morrison (1928) assigned this genus to the tribe Margarodini. Jakubski (1965) placed it in a subfamily Neomargarodinae. Williams (1969a) commented that the subfamily ranking for this taxon was too high. Hodgson & Foldi (2006) described the male of the type species and commented that it is very different from othe Margarodidae males described by them.
Gavrilov-Zimin, 2018, redefined the tribe Margarodini within the family Margarodidae to include the tribes of Dimargarodini, Porphyrophorini, Eumargarodini, Neomargarodini, Tremitoccoccini, Eurhizococcini and Margarodesiini. He did so to place the genus Neomargarodes in relation to other genera that he felt belonged in a subfamily of Margardinae (Dimargarodes, Eumargarodes, Heteromargarodes, Margarodes, Margarodesia, Neomargarodes, Porphyrophora and Termitococcus)
- Structure: Adult female: In life, body broadly oval, hairy and yellowish white. Foreleg fossorial and well developed, middle
and hind legs small; living underground. Slide-mounted specimens with derm membranous, body covered by hairlike setae. Antennae stout and more-or-less conical, each 6 segmented; scape broadest and membranous, remaining segments sclerotized; pedicel with a group of sensilla; most segments each with long hair-like setae and sensory setae. Eyespots and mouthparts absent. Thoracic spiracles developed, each with apodeme and a group of perispiracular sensilla laterad to peritreme; abdominal spiracles numbering 8 pairs; thoracic and abdominal spiracular atria each containing simple pores and multilocular disc-pores (Zheng & Wu 2024). See Zheng & Wu for further diagnostic information.
- General Remarks: Definition and characters by Morrison (1928), Borchsenius (1950b), Jakubski (1965), Tang & Hao (1995) and by Foldi (1999, 2005a).
