Type material.
Holotype: China: ♂: "China: Guangdong, Shaoguan, Nanling N. R., 24°56'38"N, 112°59'31"E, 1316-1575 m, 29.vi.2020, Xia, Zhang, Yin and Lin leg." (SNUC). Paratypes: 2 ♀♀, same data, except "Ruyuan, Nanling, nr. Ruyang, Xiaohuangshan, 24°53'44.7"N, 113°1'26.9"E, 1270-1570 m, 2021.v.02, Hu, Lin, Zhou and Li leg." (SNUC).
Description.
Body length 6.2-6.8 mm; forebody length 3.2-3.3 mm.
Body (Fig. 2 View Figures 1–4 ) dark brown; antennae and legs yellowish brown.
Head (Fig. 10 View Figures 10–14 ) approximately as long as wide; punctation very dense, moderately coarse, distinctly umbilicate, interstices lacking microsculpture; postocular portion approximately twice as long as eye length.
Pronotum (Fig. 10 View Figures 10–14 ) 1.12-1.21 times as long as wide, 0.93-1.02 times as long and 0.83-0.84 times as broad as head; punctation non-umbilicate, moderately dense and as coarse as that of head; midline posteriorly with short and very narrow impunctate elevation; interstices lacking microsculpture.
Elytra (Fig. 10 View Figures 10–14 ) 0.67-0.76 times as long as wide, 0.69-0.71 times as long and 1.03-1.12 times as broad as pronotum; punctation slightly denser and coarser than that of pronotum; interstices lacking microsculpture.
Abdomen with punctation dense and rather coarse on tergites III-V, dense and less coarse on tergite VI, moderately dense and fine on tergites VII-VIII; interstices lacking microsculpture.
Male. Sternite VII (Fig. 11 View Figures 10–14 ) with posterior margin truncate at middle. Sternite VIII (Fig. 12 View Figures 10–14 ) with triangular posterior excision. Aedeagus (Figs 13 View Figures 10–14 , 14 View Figures 10–14 ) with ventral process gradually narrowed in apicad half, with acute apex in ventral view or lateral view, with pair of wing-like basal laminae ventrally; dorso-lateral apophyses moderately slender, slightly widened near middle and apices in ventral view, not reaching apex of ventral process.
Distribution and habitat data.
The species is known only from Nanling in northern Guangdong (Fig. 27 View Figure 27 ). The specimens were collected by sifted leaf litter at altitudes of 1270-1575 m.
Comparative notes.
The new species is very similar to N. divisus Hu & Li, 2015 in general appearance, but can be separated by the wider and shallower posterior excision of male sternite VIII (Fig. 12 View Figures 10–14 ), by the ventral process with acute apex (Fig. 13 View Figures 10–14 ), and by the wider dorso-lateral apophyses of aedeagus (Fig. 13 View Figures 10–14 ).
Etymology.
The species is named in honor of Huai-Wen Wang (Administration of Nanling National Nature Reserve) who helped a lot during our collection in Nanling.
