The new taxon is placed in the tribe Coccinellini in a group informally designated as the "Neda-group," and comprising the genera Neda Mulsant; Mononeda Crotch; Neoharmonia Crotch and Argosadalia. Key morphological and anatomical characters of the new taxa are described and illustrated and the character states that define the Neda-group are reviewed.
