C o m m e n t: The above material was collected close to the type locality, which is identical to that of N. tramtonus ( ITO 2010a) . In some of the samples, N. vietnamensis was collected together with N. tramtonus . Both species are indistinguishable based on external characters, so that the females were tentatively attributed to either of them by association with males. Some of the above specimens are teneral.
