Compared with N. brudermanni Holzschuh, 2020, the new species differs by the well-expressed median groove and the clearer and longer transverse folds on the pronotal disc, the male antennomere 3 being more strongly inflated in the apical part, and the male antennomere 4 being noticeably expanded apically. The new species also resembles N. vitalisi Pic, 1923, but differs by the sculpture of the pronotal disc, the longer median groove between upper eye lobes clearly extending onto the occiput, and the less elongate male antennomeres 3 and 4 (at least).</p><p>The new species should be attributed to the unicolor group sensu Miroshnikov (2020 b), which includes N. miaobenfui .</p><p>Description.</p><p>Body length 69.0–77.0 mm, humeral width 20.0–22.0 mm.

Like in N. sabinae, it can be distinguished by the less strongly protruding external apical angle of antennomere 1 and the shorter male antennae (and thus less elongate antennomeres, including 3–5). In addition, N. miaobenfui differs from N. unicolor and N. vitalisi by the more strongly inflated apical part of male antennomere 4, and from N. punctulifer and N. brudermanni by the more strongly inflated apical parts of male antennomeres 3 and 4.</p><p>The new species should be attributed to the unicolor group sensu Miroshnikov (2020 b), which includes all the species discussed above. The anterior coxal cavities are externally with a large triangular protrusion and the external apical angle of antennomeres 5–10 is without a sharp spine, which is the same as the paris group, but “ elytra with a uniform recumbent setation that does not form an iridescent pattern ” (Miroshnikov 2020 b).</p><p>Description.</p><p>Body length 47.5–64.0 mm, humeral width 14.0–18.0 mm. Body black to black-brown or dark brown, covered with orange yellow to ochraceous pubescence. Head with pubescence, especially denser around eyes.</p><p>Most of antennomeres black starting from scape, last few antennomeres somewhat lightened, all antennomeres without annulations, covered with ochraceous or yellow pubescence, without a fringe of setae underneath. Male antennae exceed apex of elytra by antennomere 9; scape stout, barely shorter than third antennomere; third and fourth antennomeres (third in particular) strongly and asymmetrically inflated in apical part, without irregular rugose sculpture; fifth distinctly more slender than fourth but stouter than sixth, and distinctly longer than fourth whereas shorter than sixth; sixth to eleventh antennomeres become gradually more slender and flatter, seventh longer than sixth, shorter than fourth and fifth combined; eighth and ninth antennomeres subequal in length, eleventh is the longest, much longer than tenth. Female antennae slightly fail to reach the apex of elytra; scape stout, subequal to fourth antennomere in length; third to fifth antennomeres slightly expanded apically, third and fifth subequal and both longer than fourth; sixth to eleventh antennomeres become gradually more slender and flatter, sixth distinctly longer than fifth, distinctly shorter than fourth and fifth combined, seventh subequal to sixth in length; eighth shorter than seventh, ninth slightly shorter than eighth, tenth slightly shorter than ninth, eleventh is the longest antennomere.</p><p>Eye deeply emarginate, lower lobe very large; head with a short longitudinal groove between upper eye lobes and on occiput. Mandible moderately sized, curved and sharp apically, with two mesal teeth. Prothorax covered with dense orange yellow or ochraceous pubescence, fringed with short ochraceous setae at anterior margin of pronotum and a few long, erect setae scattered on sides. Pronotum 1.29 or 1.28 × as wide as long in male and female, respectively; at base slightly wider than at apex; usually with an abrupt constriction at apex and a moderate constriction at base; pronotum with coarse, irregular (in some regions largely transverse) grooves, usually ~ 10 in number.</p><p>Scutellum covered with ochraceous pubescence, posterior angle roundly triangular. Elytra moderately elongate, 2.70–2.82 × as long as humeral width; approximately parallel-sided from base, apex rounded, apical external angle obtuse, sutural angle with a short tooth. Venter with most sclerites pubescent. Prosternal intercoxal process with a pair of blunt tubercles (more distinct in males), expanded posteriorly; mesoventral intercoxal process entirely covered with pubescence, emarginate and forming two lobes apically, between coxae distinctly wider than prosternal process; metasternum with a very thin median groove. Legs black, partly black-brown, moderately long; femora quite robust, tibiae and tarsi slender; metafemur reaching middle of third visible abdominal sternite; metatarsomere 1 shorter than tarsomeres 2 and 3 combined. Both sexes with last visible abdominal sternite at apex with a shallow emargination; last visible tergite emarginate apically.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The specific epithet is gratefully dedicated to the third author’s friend, Mr Ben-Fu Miao (缪本福, Fuzhou, China), an enthusiastic amateur entomologist, who constantly assisted us with his research.
