Diagnosis. Adult ( Fig. 16 View FIGURES 12-17 ) wingspan 12.0–16.0 mm. In the female genitalia this species is characterized by the presence of a colliculum, and the uniform ductus bursae coiled anteriorly and nearly 3× length of the corpus bursae ( Fig. 37 View FIGURES 35-38 ). It is superficially similar to N. effrenata ( Meyrick, 1918) , but it can be distinguished from the latter by the forewing with M 3 absent, and in the male genitalia by the sub-rectangular valva ( Fig. 29 View FIGURES 24-30 ); in N. effrenata , the venation M 3 of the forewing is present, and the valva is broad basally and narrowed distally ( Clarke 1965: 206, Pl. 103, Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ).

Distribution. China (Guangxi, Hainan, Taiwan, Zhejiang).
