Diagnosis. MALeS OF THIS SPeCIeS CAN Be DISTINGUISHeD FROM N. brevipatellatus Z. ZhaO & S. LI sp. n. BY THe LONG PATeLLAR APOPHYSIS, SUBeqUAL TO THe LeNGTH OF PATeLLA, WHILe IT IS OBVIOUS SHORT IN N. brevipatellatus Z. ZhaO & S. LI sp. n.; and cymbial furrow short, less than ½ of the length of cymbium, while it is about ⅓ in N. brevipatellatus Z. ZhaO & S. LI sp. n. ( FIGS 1C , 5C ), AND MeDIAN APOPHYSIS ABSeNT ( FIGS 1B–C , 5B–C ). FeMALeS OF THe SPeCIeS CAN Be DISTINGUISHeD FROM N. brevipatellatus Z. ZhaO & S. LI sp. n. BY THe SPeRMATHeCAL HeADS WHOSe WIDTH eqUAL TO THe LeNGTH WHILe IN N. brevipatellatus Z. ZhaO & S. LI sp. n., THe WIDTH OF SPeRMATHeCAL HeADS IS LONGeR THAN THe LeNGTH ( FIGS 2B , 6B ); THe POSTeRIOR ePIGYNAL SCLeRITe SeMICIRCULAR AND UNCOVeReD WHILe IN N. brevipatellatus Z. ZhaO & S. LI sp. n., THe POSTeRIOR ePIGYNAL SCLeRITe COVeReD BY THe exTeNDeD POSTeRIOR eDGe OF ATRIUM ( FIGS 2A , 6A ).
