Head and pronotum uniformly brown. Legs faintly banded. <b>Male.</b> Forewing length 6 mm. Posterior margin of tergum 9 bears a pair of rounded, spinulose lobes and tergum 10 bears a pair of small spines set on low knobs on either side of epiproct (Figs. 9-10). Epiproct short, wide, apically notched with a pair of minute processes set in the notch; apices of dorsal surface armed with small scale-like spines; ventral sclerite without obvious armature. Cerci bilobed in ventral aspect (Fig. 11); ventral lobe with a prominent, inwardly curved apical spine. Vesicle about twice as long as wide (Fig. 11). Paraprocts simple and without armature; inner lobes small, not shown in Fig. 11; outer lobes large and subtriangular with rounded apices. <b>Female.</b> Forewing length 8 mm. Sternum 7 produced into a truncate lobe which covers about half of sternum 8 (Fig. 12). Sternum 8 mostly membranous and without posterior projection. <b>Larva.</b> Unknown. <b>Etymology.</b> The species name refers to the pair of spiny lobes on the mesoposterior margin of tergum 9. The prefix has been added to distinguish this name from that of <i>N. spiniloba</i> Jewett. <b>Diagnosis.</b> <i>Nemoura neospiniloba</i> is similar in tergum 9 structure to <i>N. mucronata</i> Li &amp; Yang and <i>N. furcocauda</i> Wu (Li &amp; Yang 2008b). In the former species, the lobes on tergum 9 are acute and bear a single large apical spine and the paraprocts have a distinct, but small, club-shaped inner lobe. The lobes on tergum 9 are separated by about twice their width in <i>N. furcocauda</i> and the epiproct apex in that species is distinctly trilobed. The species is tentatively placed in the <i>Cercispinosa</i> Complex recognized by Baumann (1975).
