(Carvalho & Gross, 1982)[1]

Neaitkenia monteithi is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae.[1]

It was first described in 1982 as Aitkenia monteithi by José Carvalho and Gordon Gross,[2][3] but in 2011, Katrina Menard and Randall Schuh transferred it to the new genus, Neaitkenia to give its current name.[2][4] This bug imitates an ant.[3]

The species epithet honours the Australian entomologist Geoff Monteith.[3]
