tarsalis
group
Description.
Foreleg tarsomere 1 longer than disal tarsomere, 3 about as long as distal tarsomere; midleg and hindleg tarsomeres 1–4 weakly flattened ventrally; midtibia swollen; lateral gonapophysis of female with additional gonapophysis-like structure.
Discussion.
This appears to be a monotypic group since only
N. tarsalis
has the tarsomeres I–IV of midleg and hindleg weakly flattened ventrally and possesses an unidentified gonapophysis-like process near the ventral margin of the lateral gonapophysis extending below the vulva (
Fig. 62
). The swollen midtibia is also unique.
