Neonetus is a genus of cave wētā in the family Rhaphidophoridae, endemic to New Zealand. All described species are small; when adult, individuals are only about 1cm long.[1] Neonetus variegatus and N. huttoni are common in native and exotic forests but because they are small and nocturnal they are often overlooked.[2]
