Types. Holotype: ♀ (HNNU), PIANMA YAKOU (25.966667°N, 98.683333°E, eLeV. 3200 M), PASS OVeR GAOLIGONGSHAN, NUjIANG PReFeCTURe, Yunnan, China, 11 OCTOBeR 1998, C. GRISWOLD, D. KAVANAUGH, C. LONG LeG. Paratypes: 5♀♀ (HNNU and CAS), same data as holotype; 1♀ (CAS), Nujiang State Nature Reserve, No. 12 BRIDGe CAMP AReA (27.715000°N, 98.502000°E, eLeV. 2775 M), 16.3 AIR KM W OF GONGSHAN, NUjIANG PReFeCTURe, GAOLIGONG SHAN, Yunnan, China, 15–19 JULY 2000, H. YAN, D. KAVANAUGH, C.E. GRISWOLD, H. LIANG, D. UBICK, D. DONG LeG. Other records: 27♀♀ (HNNU AND CAS), GAOLIGONG SHAN, Yunnan, China.
Material examined. 1♀ 1♂ (IZCAS-AR 33970), FeNGxUe YAKOU (25.972667°N, 98.683933°E, eLeV. 3113 M), PIANMA TOWNSHIP, LUSHUI COUNTY, NUjIANG OF THe LISU AUTONOMOUS PReFeCTURe, Yunnan, China, 8 DeCeMBeR 2013, Y. LI & J. LIU LeG.
Diagnosis. MALeS OF THIS SPeCIeS CAN Be DISTINGUISHeD FROM N. brevipatellatus Z. ZHAO & S. LI sp. n. BY THe LONG PATeLLAR APOPHYSIS, AS LONG AS THe PATeLLA, WHILe THe PATeLLAR APOPHYSIS OBVIOUSLY SHORT IN N. brevipatellatus Z. ZhaO & S. LI (FIGS 1C, 3C), A SHORT CYMBIAL FURROW, ABOUT ½ THe LeNGTH OF CYMBIUM, WHILe IT IS ABOUT ⅓ IN N. brevipatellatus Z. ZhaO & S. LI sp. n (FIGS 1C, 3C). FeMALeS OF THIS SPeCIeS CAN Be DISTINGUISHeD FROM N. brevipatellatus Z. ZhaO & S. LI sp. n. BY THe SPeRMATHeCAL HeADS WHOSe HeIGHT IS LONGTeR THAN THe WIDTH BUT IN N. brevipatellatus Z. ZhaO & S. LI sp. n., THe WIDTH OF SPeRMATHeCAL HeADS IS LONGeR THAN THe HeIGHT; THe WIDTH OF SPeRMATHeCAL BASeS IS SUBeqUAL TO ½ THe WIDTH OF ANTeRIOR SPeRMATHeCA, BUT ABOUT 1½ AS IN N. brevipatellatus sp. n.; AND THe DISTANCe BeTWeeN THe MIDDLe PART OF SPeRMATHeCAe IS LeSS THAN ¼ OF THe WIDTH OF SPeRMATHeCAL BASeS, BUT SUBeqUAL TO ½ AS IN N. brevipatellatus Z. ZhaO & S. LI sp. n. (FIGS 2B, 4B).

PALP: PATeLLAR APOPHYSIS SHORTeR THAN THe LeNGTH OF PATeLLA, AND WITH A BeNT eND, (FIG. 3A); CYMBIAL FURROW BeING ABOUT ½ THe LeNGTH OF CYMBIUM (FIG. 3C); eMBOLUS BeGINNING AT 7 TO 7:30 O’CLOCK POSITION (FIG. 3B); MeDIAN APOPHYSIS PReSeNT, NOT SPOON-SHAPeD (FIGS 3B–C).
