Questions about whether Neurhermes and Protohermes are separate genera have been raised repeatedly, with several species being transferred between the two.

[2] Geologic uplift likely resulted in speciation across mainland southeast Asia, followed by dispersal to Sundaland.

[1] Neurhermes males produce large nuptial gifts of gelatinous spermatophores, but have small mandibles and limited sexual dimorphism compared to many other dobsonflies.

[4] Unlike most other dobsonflies, Neurhermes are active during the day, possibly meaning the dark wing color is more related to preventing hybridization with other sympatric genera.

[5] Nanocladius asiaticus have a commensal relationship with many Asian Corydalidae species, and Neurhermes maculipennis serves as the host in the Malay peninsula.
