***Neofidia longipes*** is a species of [leaf beetle](/source/Leaf_beetle)[2][3][4] that is found in North America.[3] It occurs mostly east of the [Appalachian Mountains](/source/Appalachian_Mountains). It is associated with plants such as *[Ilex opaca](/source/Ilex_opaca)* ([Aquifoliaceae](/source/Aquifoliaceae)), [soybeans](/source/Soybean) ([Fabaceae](/source/Fabaceae)), *[Salix](/source/Salix)* ([Salicaceae](/source/Salicaceae)), and various [Vitaceae](/source/Vitaceae) including *[Ampelopsis arborea](/source/Ampelopsis_arborea)*, *[Parthenocissus quinquefolia](/source/Parthenocissus_quinquefolia)*, and various species in the genus *[Vitis](/source/Vitis)*.[5]

*Neofidia longipes* is very similar to the species *[Neofidia rileyorum](/source/Neofidia_rileyorum)*, and females of the two species cannot be distinguished without associated males. The two species are also [sympatric](/source/Sympatric) along the Appalachian Mountains, as well as in central [Ohio](/source/Ohio) and in central [Alabama](/source/Alabama).[5]
