Scale bars: 0.5 mm. Diagnosis . The males of this species differ from N. simplex in having the tegular median process with a less sclerotized tip ( Fig. 13 a), from N. cintalapa in having the tegulum flat in lateral view ( Fig. 13 b), from N. gibarrai in having the tegular median process straight ( Fig. 13 a), and from N. tacana in having the RTA with denticles and a smaller excavation ( Fig. 13 b). The females differ from N. laticava in having the copulatory ducts connected posteriorly to primary spermathecae ( Fig. 13 d), from N. simplex by the anterior margin without anterior lobes, from N. irazu in having spurs closer to each other, from N. cintalapa , N. tacana , and N. triunfo in having the posterior margin more or less straight, and from N. gibarrai in having the atrium with posterior margin thicker and more sclerotized ( Fig. 13 c).
