shortstalked; hindtibia with raised piliform scales; terga with deciduous spiniform setae arranged in wide patches, second abdominal sternum with apodemes and venulae; uncus and gnathos subtriangular; valva entire, with process; juxta with lateral lobes. Only females of
N. chagualphaga
and

are known; their genitalia have a sclerotized antrum and long apophyses. The two new species share these features, which is why we place them in this genus.
