This species remains known only from the type series of 3 females and 3 males collected from Luehea [ Tiliaceae ] in February, 1949 at Nova Teutônia. It is closely related to N. fasciatus , but is more boldly coloured and has the pronotal sculpture reticulate instead of transversely reticulate to striate.
