Holotype female : MEXICO : Chiapas : El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve , IV.1942 , H. Wagner , deposited at AMNH . Etymology . The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality. Diagnosis . This species differs from N. shlomitae , N. simplex , and N. gibarrai , and N. irazu in having the atrium with posterior margin divided in two large and rounded parts ( Fig. 43 a), and from N. cintalapa and N. tacana in having the median plate wider towards the ventral margin ( Fig. 43 c).
