synonymized
N. brachystomus
with
N. notatus
, this species was reported under the name
N. brachystomus
from all over the Middle East. Studied specimens of this species have some variation in genitalia compared with other European and western populations, such as very long pointy inner processes. There might be several distinct species under the concept of
N. notatus
, but this is beyond the scope of our investigation.
