Abstract

Neea contracta, a new species known only from central Amazonia, in Brazil, is described. In addition to morphological characteristics, we use spectral data associated with discriminant analyses as further evidence of the distinctiveness of this species. Besides the description, we provide a distribution map and notes on the taxonomy of N. contracta, a comparative table distinguishing N. contracta from morphologically similar species, and an updated key to the 18 species of Neea known for Amazonas State, Brazil.
