euphrantina group of species

Diagnosis. Lateral vertical seta present. Cell c entirely hyaline or darkened only in apical 0.4 of its length; section of vein M between crossveins r-m and dm-cu (m3) at least 1.3 times (1.3–2.5) as long as dm-cu. Wing with extensive dark brown or yellow pattern with hyaline spots and incisions, rather than with 3 crossbands (as described for apicalis group); male genitalia: epandrium elongate, but not bar-like, at most 3 times as long as wide.

Comments. Two new species, N. euphrantina and N.geomyzina are included. They share the characters as listed in the diagnosis and differ mainly by details of the wing pattern. Males differ by the shape of the head and palpus.
