'''''Neocicindela''''' is a genus of tiger beetles endemic to New Zealand. Several former species of '''''Neocicindela''''' have been transferred to a new genus ''Zecicindela''. It can be separated from ''Zecicindela'' by the shape of the labrum and the absence of hairs on the clypeus, frons, genae and pronotum.<ref>Larochelle, A.; Larivière, M.-C. 2013: Cicindelinae to Trechinae (in part) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Carabidae).
