Tarsomeres 1–4 ventrally at tip with pair of short spine-like bristles as well as comb of shorter black spinules. Apical tarsomere dorsally thickly set with long black squamiform bristles. Length of femur, tibia and tarsal segments (in mm): 2: 3.08: 1.68: 0.84: 0.77: 0.35: 0.42. Hind leg. Coxa bare. Hind femur thicker than mid femur, as wide as fore femur; ventrally almost bare; 1 strong anterior preapical, 1 fine posterior preapical. Tibia stronger bristled than mid tibia with 7 long av, 7 ad, 7 pd and crown of long apicals. Tarsomeres 1–4 ventrally at tip with pair of short spine-like bristles as well as comb of shorter black spinules.

Tp brown seamed. Veins dark brown, yellowish at base. M1+2 sharply bent upwards and ending in costa closely near tip of R4+5. Tp straight, about as long as apical part of M3+4. Anal vein reaching wing border. Halter with white knob. Squama white with long white cilia. Abdomen shiny dark metallic green; tips and sides of tergites with greyish dusting. Sternites greyish dusted. Tergites densely set with quite long black bristles; hind-marginal bristles slightly longer than other bristles. Only tergite 5 with very long marginal bristles. Sternites with very short hairs except for longer marginals on sternite 4. Genital capsule black. Cercus brown, slightly shorter than dorsal surstylus (Fig. 3). Ventrally at base with black sclerotisation. Both cerci fused for almost entire length, only tips free (Fig. 4). Tip of cercus pointed, with single yellow apical bristle, dorsally set with long black bristles. Dorsal surstyli brown, much enlarged, forming clasper transverse on cercus, bordered with short, stout yellow bristles, shorter than surstylus is wide (Fig. 3). Ventrally with dark spur-like apex (Fig. 5). Ventral and dorsal surstyli not fused. Ventral surstylus yellowish, large, rounded (Fig. 2); tip with short hair-like bristles; inner carina running parallel to dorsal border. Hypandrium dorsally with large rounded black protuberance set with spinules (Fig. 3). Female. Indistinguishable from females of N. sivasothii (see Remarks section).</p><p>Remarks. The new species is morphologically almost identical to N. sivasothii, except for the larger forked extension on fore tarsomere 4 in male and the very different male genitalia. The outer branch of the apical fork on fore tarsomere 4 is slightly longer than the inner branch, the outer branch is slightly shorter than the inner branch in N. sivasothii .</p><p>The wing is brownish tinged and only the Tp is dark seamed. In N. sivasothii the wing is darker and the longitudinal veins as well as Tp are generally black seamed. Vein M1+2 includes a short stub on the apical bend in the new species. Such a stub was never observed in the large populations of N. sivasothii in Singapore.</p><p>Presently females of the new species are indistinguishable from females of N. sivasothii . Both species have been collected together. For this reason, no females were included in the material examined section.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A55EF70EFF96FFABC9FBF9DFB1B2FEA8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
