Comment. N. cultellatus (Assing 2016: 24, Figs 93–99) is highly similar to N. minor Koch, 1939 ( Hu et al. 2016: 363, Figs 1–4 ) in external and male sexual characters, but can be separated by the slightly less dense punctation of the abdomen and the longer dorso-lateral apophyses of the aedeagus.

Distribution and habitat. N. cultellatus is a widespread species of the genus in China. It is known from Shaanxi, Henan and Anhui.
