Remarks
Based on the study of the
type
from
Sumatra
, we consider
N. sumatrensis
as a junior synonym of
N. insignis
, even though the colour pattern of the
types
of both species is slightly different. After the examination of the material from
Sumatra
identified “
N. sumatrensis
” and “
N. insignis
”, we observed that the colour patterns form a continuum between a lighter version in
N. insignis
and the darker, more contrasting specimens previously identified as in the
type
of
N. sumatrensis
. There are also little diagnostic differences in the male and female genitalia for both series.
