Size: Male: length: 13.5–10; width: 6.5–5.5; Female: length: 13.0–11; width: 6.5–5.6.

Diagnosis: N. kuehni bears a gibbosity apically on the metafemur, which is lacking in the closely-related N. quadricollis . The projecting metatrochanter in males of N. kuehni is also longer, comprising over half of the total length of the metafemur. Unlike in N. quadricollis, the elytra in N. kuehni are not laterally emarginate.

Examined non-type material: See Supplementary information.

Distribution: N. kuehni occurs in highland grassland under the moist to wet conditions of the eastern escarpment of South Africa (Eastern Cape, KwaZulu Natal and Mpumalanga) (Fig. 28).

Conservation status: N. kuehni was assessed as a Data Deficient species for the IUCN Red Date List (Davis 2013g). Further collecting and monitoring is required to accurately assess the conservation status of this species.
