Etymology.
The species epithet is derived from the Latin ‘
parvi
’ and ‘
triangulus
’, referring to the small and triangular atrium in this new species; adjective.
Diagnosis.
The new species is similar to
N. pseudovietnamensis
sp. nov.
in having the small and triangular atrium, the large copulatory ducts, the small and anteriorly situated spermathecal heads (
Figs 78A–B
,
79B–C
), but can be distinguished from the latter by the widely separated and elliptic copulatory ducts, the complex spemathecal stalks which are not entirely covered by copulatory ducts (
Figs 78A–B
,
79B–C
).
