The
platnicki
Group
DIAGNOSIS: Males with fusiform to elongated palpal bulbs with a complex conductor; both sexes lack the prolateral ventral macrosetae of the femora I and II, and also have relatively enlarged femora IV, as in the previous group. Two species (
N. silvae
and
pithecia
) have the copulatory bulb partially fused with the cymbium (fig. 86D, F).

. All the species were found on the foliage of trees in tropical rainforests.
