Oligoneuria is a genus of mayflies in the family Oligoneuriidae. The genus was erected for Oligoneuria anomala, originally described on the basis of two female subimagos from Brazil. It was given the name for its characteristic and unusual reduction in longitudinal and cross veins. It remained a monotypic species until 2007, and since then several new species were described from Brazil. Additionally the genus Oligoneurioides erected in 1955 was considered a synonym.
