Neofidia humeralis is a species of leaf beetle.[4][5][6][7] It ranges from southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, along the Sierra Madre Occidental and Sierra Madre del Sur, south to Oaxaca in southwestern Mexico.[2][7] It was first described as two species, Fidia humeralis and Fidia plagiata, by the French entomologist Édouard Lefèvre in 1877. These two species were later found to be synonymous.[2]
