Forewing length
8 mm

Fig. 21
); apex notched and bearing a pair of small finger-like processes in the notch and a pair of small, curved horns adjacent to notch and appressed to anterior margin of epiproct (
Figs. 21-22
); lateral aspect with a prominent raised knob near midlength (
Fig. 22
). Cerci consisting of a large dorsobasal lobe with apical hook and a smaller, stylus-like ventral lobe (

Etymology.
The species name refers to the stylus-like ventral lobe of the cerci.
Diagnosis.
This species is similar to
N. spinacerca
in cercal and epiproct structure, but the dorsolateral arms on the epiproct are larger in that species and tergum 9 of that species bears a conspicuous patch of sensilla basiconica. This species is a member of the
Cercispinosa
Complex recognized by
Baumann (1975)
.
