Neocollyris smaragdina is a species in the tiger beetle family Cicindelidae. It was described by Horn in 1894.[1][2]

N. smaragdina was depicted in the 1912 book "Coleoptera: General Introduction and Cicindelidae and Paussidae" by entomologist William Weekes Fowler[3][4] and described as "very closely allied to N. saphyrina" but on average larger, and having a more narrow pronotum.[5]
