Syntype

INDONESIA – Sumatra • 1 ♀; Stamford Raffles leg.; NHMUK 012497570 .

Remarks

It is unclear why Otte (1994) reinstated N. marginatus as a valid species, even though earlier literature had already synonymised this species under N. vittatus . Based on the observation of a female syntype showing no difference with N. vittatus, we synonymise N. marginatus again under N. vittatus .
