Literature records:
Navás (1917) [Argentina]; Navás (1923) [Argentina]; Flint (1972) [Argentina and Colombia]; Flint (1982) [Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru and Venezuela]; Flint (1991) [Roraima, Brazil, Ecuador and Guyana]; Flint (1996) [Peru]; Almeida and Marinoni (2000) [Paraná, Brazil]; Paprocki et al. (2004) [checklist]; Paprocki and França (2014) [checklist]; Quinteiro et al. (2014) [Bahia, Piauí, Brazil]; Ríos-Touma et al. (2017) [Ecuador]; Desidério et al.

Many of the literature records of N. splendida listed by Flint (1972, 1982, 1991), such as Bolivia, Colombia, Paraguay, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela, did not include specific locality data. For some of these countries, additional information was provided in other papers (Flint, 1996; Ríos-Touma et al., 2017) or are available from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF, database). For others countries, such as Colombia, Guyana, and Paraguay, no specific locality data are known. The species is frequently captured near larger rivers (Flint, 1991) and at lower altitudes (10 m – 800 m), but it has been recorded at 1200m (Henriques-Oliveira et al., 2018; GBIF, 2022).
According to the characteristics of the male genitalia, N. splendida belongs to the candida-group species [i.e., simple elongated preanal appendages (Fig. 4B and 4C), slender straight inferior appendages (Fig. 4B), and basoventral process of the inferior appendages digitate (Fig. 4A and 4B)].
