Description	The genus Neurohelea at the moment includes a single species Neurohelea luteitarsis Waltl. Czech Republic is the fifth European territory where this rare monotypic species has been reported from. In addition to the typical genus- and species characteristics described in the previous studies, we observed three fully developed spermathecae, eversible sacs on the abdominal pleurits of females and an interruption of the r-m vein. These features could prove essential in reconstruction of phylogenetic relationships within the tribe Heteromyiini as well as among tribes Heteromyiini and Palpomyiini.
