Diagnosis
. The present species appears to be a member of the difficult
N. cavalerieri
(Navás)
complex that occurs throughout Southeast Asia and has been shown to exhibit considerable variation among taxa (
Sivec & Zwick 1987
;
Stark & Sivec 2008
). The three males exhibit little variation in aedeagal armature in the numbers of sac spines; aedeagal sac with only small spiny cushion of basodorsal spines and three irregular rows of ventral spines (
Fig. 9–10
,
13–14
). We provide illustrations for aiding the recognition of this species from Hubei Province.
