Diagnosis.

Males can be separated from those of Nesticella kaohsiungensis sp. n. by the wider ventral apophysis of the paracymbium (Va) and the slimmer and sharper process of the conductor (Cp) (see Paik et al. 1969: figs 40-41 vs. Fig. 68A, C). Females of Nesticella quelpartensis can be recognized by the wider and shorter scape (see Paik et al. 1969: figs 37-38 vs. Fig. 69 F–G).
