Female. Unknown. Type Material. Holotype male, CHINA : Guangxi: Tianlin, Langping, Linaoshan ( 1300m ), 14. VIII. 2002 , D. Yang. Etymology. The specific name refers to the type locality Guangxi. Comments. This new species is very similar to N. pallipilosa Yang and Saigusa from Yunnan, but may be separated from the latter by the first flagellomere having an acute lower apical corner, while in N. pallipilosa , the first flagellomere has an obtuse lower apical corner ( Yang and Saigusa, 2001b ). Distribution. Guangxi.
