Etymology: Neochanna: Greek, neos = new + Greek, channe, -es = an anchovy (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: F Cleaver of West Ulverstone, Tasmania, discovered the holotype (1933) burrowed inside the root of a eucalyptus tree, where it had been aestivating. We have not been able to discover more about him. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Facultative air-breathing in the genus (Ref. 126274); Adults occur in swamps, drains and ponds. They are likely capable of aestivation as individuals are sometimes encountered in mud or beneath logs or stones when pools dry up. They feed partly on bottom detritus and insects.
