Diagnosis.
Adult (
Fig. 8
) wingspan 13.0–16.0 mm. This species is superficially similar to
N. abunda
sp. nov.
and
N. apiculata
sp. nov.
It differs from them in the male genitalia by the juxta with digitate lateral processes (
Fig. 21
), whereas they are triangular in
N. abunda
sp. nov.
and
N. apiculata
sp. nov.
Female genitalia
(
Fig. 32
). Abdominal sternite VIII membranous medially, produced quadrately and sclerotized antero-medially, shallowly concave medially on posterior margin.Apophyses anteriores about 2/3 length of apophy- ses posteriores. Ductus bursae nearly as long as corpus bursae, with spines spreading in posterior 2/3, becoming denser posteriorly; ductus seminalis much slender, distinctly dilated basally, arising from anterior 1/3 of ductus bursae. Corpus bursae large, ovate; signum crescent, at posterior 1/4.

Remarks.
This species was originally described by
Park (2002)
on the male specimens collected from
Taichung
and the female specimens from
Pingtung
,
Taiwan
. In our study of
N. bisinuata
, we found the female that has the same collection data as the male and differs from the female given by Park in the genitalia (2002: 261,
Fig. 18
). Thus, it is likely a mismatch in the original description. We describe the female with illustration herein.
