Material. Holotype ♂ ( SMF), China, Shaanxi Prov., S flanks of Taibai Shan, above Houshenzi, primary broadleaved forest, 1700–2600 m, 9.VI.1997, leg. J. Martens & P. Jäger.
Diagnosis. This species differs from numerous congeners by the faintly modified palpal tibia. It seems to be especially closely related to the Japanese N. subnigra Ono & Saito 2001 , being easily distinguishable by the elongated palpal tibia, the wellsclerotised, hookshaped and distally bifid lamella characteristica, as well as by the absence of a dentiform process on the embolus.
Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Latin “Sinae”, meaning “ China ”; adjective.

Leg I, 2.41 long (0.68+0.20+0.58+0.55+0.40), IV––2.47 long (0.70+0.18+0.63+0.58+0.38). Chaetotaxy. Ti I–IV 2 000; Mt I–IV spineless. Mt IV lacking a trichobothrium, TmI––0.25. Palp ( Figs 6–11 View FIGURES 6 – 11 ): Tibia only slightly modified, with neither processes nor deep hollows. Anterior pocket of paracymbium welldeveloped. Lamella characteristica hookshaped, bifid apically, with a long narrow membranous branch whisked distally. Embolus basally with an unciform process.
