Type material of N. macrocephala and N. pallidipes :

1 ♂, same data, with additional label: pallidipes a. macrocephala Brt. ( NHMB); [Remark: Breit (1914) did not correctly recognize the sex, when he described his type specimen series of five females. Four of these five type specimens are available in the Breit collection (in the Frey collection in the NHMB). Andrewes (1929) made the note "I have in my collection a cotype of macrocephala Breit ".];

[Remark: This is probably not a specimen of Breit’s type series. Andrewes (1929) cited the locality "Punjab: Bashahr State, Poo" referring possibly to this specimen of the Bänninger collection.]
