I've two males and a female specimen of this species, the specimen posted here is a female (15 mm)...it looks close to N. decemmaculatus but differs considerably... as like N. decemmaculatus the current specimen also has five spots on elytra but size is considerably varied...
the differences from N. decemmaculatus are: there is no white band at the elytral base and apex is not drawn out into a lobe but elytral apex is obliquely truncated and the outer angle is regularly rounded...
any opinion on its affinities? |

I can exclude N. bryanti (Breuning, 1939) and N. strandi (Breuning, 1939), both are different, really a strange one, but before description, please check nearby groups: there are confusions within genera too. |

It does not seem decemmaculatus: the brick-reddish pubescence on the pronotum is absent in this species and the elytral punctures are different. The elytral spots have a different trend as well, not reliable to decemmaculatus.
You can also check the Sinhalese N. bryanti (Breuning, 1939) and N. strandi (Breuning, 1939), which probably form an Indian group, but I think you can describe a new species. |
