Description.
Body length
6.7 mm
; forebody length
3.2 mm
.
Body (
Fig. 9
) dark brown; antennae and legs yellowish brown.
Head (
Fig. 25
) 1.03 times as long as wide; punctation very dense, moderately coarse, distinctly umbilicate, interstices without microsculpture; postocular portion approximately twice as long as eye length.
Pronotum (
Fig. 25
) 1.18 times as long as wide, approximately as long and 0.89 times as broad as head; punctation non-umbilicate, moderately dense and as coarse as that of head; midline posteriorly with very short and narrow impunctate elevation; interstices without microsculpture.
Elytra (
Fig. 25
) 0.69 times as long as wide, 0.59 times as long and as broad as pronotum; punctation as dense as, and less coarse than that of pronotum; interstices without microsculpture.
Abdomen with punctation dense and rather coarse on tergites III, dense and less coarse on tergite VI–V, moderately dense and fine on tergites VII–VIII; interstices lacking microsculpture.
Male
. Sternite VII (
Fig. 26
) with posterior margin truncate at middle. Sternite VIII (
Fig. 27
) with V-shaped posterior excision. Aedeagus (
Figs 28, 29
) moderately sclerotized; ventral process long, dorsal parts widened near middle and at apex in ventral view, with pair of triangular basal laminae ventrally; dorso-lateral apophyses slender, extending slightly beyond apex of ventral process.
Distribution and habitat data.
The species is known only from Huaping in northeast
Guangxi
(
Fig. 30
). The specimen was collected by sifting leaf litter at an altitude of
1200 m
.
Comparative notes.
The new species is similar in general appearance and aedeagal characters to
N. shaanxiensis
Hu, Li & Zhao
, but can be separated by denser and coarser punctation of the pronotum a wider ventral process of the aedeagus (
Fig. 28
), and by narrower and longer dorso-lateral apophyses (
Figs 28
).
Etymology.
The species is named in honor of Yan Chen, who collected some of the
type
specimens.
