Diagnosis. Thorax: ostiolar ruga auriculate, conspicuous. Abdomen: urosternites with black maculae, sometimes larger than spiracles. Male: ventral rim of pygophore with brims restricted to posterolateral angles, abruptly ending ( Fig. 8C ), shared with N. viridula , N. antennata and N. similis ; paramere bilobate, sinuosity between lobes more excavate ( Fig. 8C ) than in N.viridula ; median bristles on paramere attached at apex of a short digitiform process directed to lateral surface ( Fig. 10 G–H ; 12I –K ), shared with N. viridula and N. antennata ; Female: posterior margins of gonocoxites 8 sinuous near sutural angles; basal half of laterotergites 9 concave; digitiform processes of capsula seminalis subequal in length ( Fig. 17 A ), as in N. viridula .
