Remarks.
This species is known from only a single female. It is similar to
N. rubripes
. But it is distinguished from it by the median carina of pronotum with a distinct longitudinal sulcus along its length, very slightly narrowing backwards (anterior part of sulcus distinct, clearly narrowing or disappearing backwards in
N. rubripes
), the hind femur with red inner and ventral surfaces (black in
N. rubripes
) and the yellow hind tibia (not unicolor yellow in
N. rubripes
). It is distinguished from
N. ponticus
Ramme
and
N. demirsoyi
(Ünal)
by the median carina of pronotum with a wide longitudinal sulcus along its length, slightly narrowing backwards (very narrow or disappeared backwards in
N. ponticus
and
N. demirsoyi
), the yellow hind tibia (hind tibia black or bluish- or greenish black in
N. ponticus
and
N. demirsoyi
), the hind femur with reddish inner and ventral surfaces (black in
N. ponticus
and
N. demirsoyi
). It is also near to
N. cinerascens
Ramme. But
the clearly more dorso-ventrally depressed body and pronotum (compressed laterally in
N. cinerascens
), the hind femur with red inner and ventral surfaces (black in
N. cinerascens
), the yellow hind tibia (light to dark blue, rarely with yellowish-reddish distal part in female of
N. cinerascens
) are different, but in the future it should be compared again with newly collected material.
The specimens given by
Demirsoy (1973)
from
Sivas
and
Erzincan
probably belong to
N. cinerascens
Ramme
which was synonymized by him with this species. The specimens given as a new form of
N. acinosus
(
Demirsoy 1973: 426
)
from
Palandöken
should be confirmed.
