The female genitalia of
N. plumbea
differ from its closest relative,
N. atrata
by the smaller size and the more elongate, entirely smoothly membraneous corpus bursae. The genitalia of
N. plumbea
are somewhat similar to those of
N. notata
, but the ductus bursae is narrower, the colliculum is shorter and much broader and the corpus bursae is more elongate.
