limbatus Motschulsky, 1866

Distribution: China (Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Shangdong, Henan, Shanxi, Shannxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Guangdong, Guangxi); Mongolia; India; Japan; Russia (East Siberia, Far East); North Korea; South Korea.

Note. This is a highly doubtful record for the Indian region and is most probably based on misidentifications of the variant of N. fumidus with darker elytra (see Fig. 32a ).
