Neoneura is a genus of damselfly in the threadtail family Coenagrionidae. They are found in the Neotropics, from Cuba and Texas to Argentina.
==Characteristics== Though part of the threadtail family, the abdomen of neoneurans, in contrast to that of protoneurans, is no more slender than that of pond damselflies. Males are mostly brightly coloured with red, orange, yellow and blue predominating, but females are less showy. The females do not bend their relatively short abdomens when laying eggs as do protoneurans. Pairs of these damselfly can be seen in tandem over quiet waters at the edges of lakes. The eggs are laid among floating wood chippings or on emergent plant stems, the male remaining in tandem with the female while ovipositing takes place.
