Genus:
Neotachina

Neotachina is a genus of tachinid flies in the family Tachinidae.[1][2][3] The four known species in this genus were collected in New Zealand in 1938 and described by Scottish entomologist John Russell Malloch.[4]

Diagnosis:

This genus keys out together with Chaetopletha, Phaoniella, Platytachina, Plethochaetigera, and Tachineo. It is considerably difficult to find satisfactory external characters to distinguish these genera in a dichotomous key. This difficulty is expressed by Malloch 1938 several times over as well as by Dugdale 1969. A thorough revision at the genus level is needed that includes molecular analysis, rearing and collecting of new material.
