Neohelops , Dajoz 2001

Neohelops Dajoz, 2001 Dajoz (2001) recognized that New World “ Helops ” were different from Mediterranean Helops. He proposed the genus Neohelops describing the species Neohelops texanus Dajoz (Fig. 2) from the Big Bend region in Texas, USA. Though his species appears valid, his generic concept gives no putative diagnostic characters which separate this species from any other forms from the United States or Central America.
