The body is uniformly pale yellow, the ocellar pigment is pale and scarcely red, antennal segments I–IV and base of V are yellow, and the major setae on the body and fore wings are pale, with the exception of the setae on tergites IX and X. In these colour states this species is similar to N. janis sp. n. , but that has sternal discal setae in both sexes. Apart from the type series, the only other specimen studied of this species is a female from a second site on Oahu, Konahua, on Dubautia plantaginea . This female is closely similar to the types in colour and chaetotaxy but has ocellar setae pair III about 30 microns long. Tergites IV and V have a small group of about five lateral discal setae.
