Etymology. The specific name is a noun in apposition derived from the type locality.
Diagnosis. Both sexes resemble the similar congeners N. sublaevis , N. meridionalis and N. minas , which have a similar abdominal pattern as in figure 6I and the posterior unpaired claws small ( Fig. 5CView FIGURE 5), but can be distinguished by the PLS of equal size as PMS.
Description. Male (holotype): Carapace orange ( Fig. 67AView FIGURE 67). Chelicerae, labium, and legs yellowish orange, coxae and trochanters lighter. Endites and sternum yellowish orange. Abdomen light gray, dorsal pattern as in figure 6I, lighter ventrally. Anal tubercle and spinnerets light gray. Total length 8.9. Carapace 5.3 long, 3.25 wide. Sternum 4.7 long, 3.0 wide. Leg measurements: I: 3.8; II: 3.75; III: 3.3; IV: 3.95. Posterior unpaired claws small, as in other three ‒clawed spiders ( Figs 5CView FIGURE 5). PLS of equal size as PMS. Palp with straight embolus, shorter than palpal tibia ( Figs 67B ‒DView FIGURE 67; 68E); embolar tip with a wide cut on prolateral side and two short extensions ( Fig. 68G ‒HView FIGURE 68).
Female (paratype): Carapace, chelicerae, labium, coxae, legs, endites and sternum as in male. Abdomen as in male ( Fig. 67EView FIGURE 67). Anal tubercle and spinnerets whitish yellow. Total length 9.2. Carapace 5.5 long, 3.35 wide. Sternum 4.9 long, 3.4 wide. Leg measurements: I: 3.9; II: 3.8; III: 3.5; IV: 4.05. Posterior unpaired claws and PLS as in male. External genital area with weakly sclerotized anterior plate, strongly sclerotized lep and remarkable ess ( Fig. 67FView FIGURE 67). Internal genitalia without invagination on receptaculum and uterus externus with narrow base ( Figs 67GView FIGURE 67; 68J ‒L).
