( Fig. 11 )

Etymology: The epiteth is allusive to the name that received the inhabitants of the State of Espírito Santo, Brazil.

Male: Integument dark brown to black. Pubescence predominantly clear gray, in the pronotum disposed in seven longitudinal lines, one in the middle and three each side of the middle. Pubescence dark brown as follows: antennae, six longitudinal lines in the pronotum, intercalated with the grayish lines, in the elytra a large rounded patch in juxtaposition with the scutellum, a subquadrate median lateral patch and several rounded spots in the sides in the basal half and in the whole surface of the distal half.

Antennae reaching the apices of the elytra approximately in the apex of the antennomere V. Prothorax with an acute minute lateral tubercle in the beginning of the posterior third. Pronotum with a single row of punctures near the posterior margin. Apices of the elytra slightly obliquely truncate, external angle projected in acute spine.

Fifth urotergite and urosternite semicircularly emarginate at the apex. Metatarsomere I as long as II+III.

Measurements (mm), male: Total length, 6,2; prothorax length, 1,2; prothorax width, 1,8; elytral length, 4,5; humeral width, 2,1.

Type material: Holotype male, BRAZIL, Espírito Santo: Linhares , X.1972, B. Silva col. ( MNRJ) . Paratypes, same data, 3 males. All in MNRJ .

Comments: N. capixaba sp. nov. has similar pattern of arrangement of elytral patches of N. schmithi (Melzer, 1931) , and also the same color of pubescence, differs by the external angle of the elytral apices subrounded in N. schmithi . and projected in acute spine in N. capixaba sp. nov.
