SUMMARY
This is N. flavicorne of Collin, 1958[1], but there has been considerable confusion in the nomenclature between this species and N. opacum. A small dark coloured species with yellow legs, the front pair with double rows of strong black spines below the femora and tibia. The dark ground colour of the thorax and abdomen shines through the thin dusting which is only dense and grey on a fairly broad central stripe on the thoracic dorsum. Terminalia of both sexes undusted and shining black. Wing length: ♂ 3.2 - 3.5 - 3.9 mm (4); ♀ 3.8 - 3.8 - 3.8 mm (2).
