Diagnosis.
Identical with
N. assamensis
in most external characters (see above), differing by larger body size (
5–6 mm
), less extensive dark markings of elytra (
Fig. 77
; paired subapical spots rather vaguely outlined, apices and lateral margins reddish), and mainly by morphology of male aedeagus (
Fig. 6
).
Distribution.
India
:
Uttarakhand
(KREKICH- STRASSOLDO 1928).
Remarks.
KREKICH- STRASSOLDO (1928) described
N. bellus
from
three specimens
provided by G. C. Champion. The only male
syntype
present in the BMNH is dissected, with the last abdominal sterna mounted on the same label, but lacking the aedeagus (label data containing no slide number).
