Diagnosis
Recognized by the following characters: total body length 3.2–3.7; corium uniformly yellow, without dark pattern ( Fig. 3D View Fig ); antenna uniformly dark brown, usually with reddish tinge; right lateral wall of genital capsule deeply excavated, with large, apically rounded sclerotized outgrowth ( Fig. 21A–B View Fig ); right paramere flattened, with broadly semicircular dorsal expansion ( Fig. 21C–D View Fig ); base of aedeagus with large, characteristic, uniformly sclerotized outgrowth; apex of aedeagus with small, entirely membranous lobe ( Fig 21F View Fig ).
Etymology
Named after the type locality, Castle Rock, a village in the Western Ghats Mts, Karnataka.

Description
Male
COLORATION. Dorsum pale lemon yellow to pale brown ( Fig. 3D–E View Fig ); head pale yellow, antennal segments dark brown to reddish brown; pronotum yellow, sometimes with pale brown anterior angles; pro-, meso- and metathorax laterally brown, ventrally pale brown or yellow; scutellum pale brown to dark brown; hemelytron uniformly lemon yellow, with narrowly brown or black costal margin and claval commissure; legs uniformly yellow; abdomen yellow ventrally, pale brown at sides.
STRUCTURE. Total length 3.2–3.5; body 3.5–3.7× as long as basal width of pronotum; head transverse, vertex 1.8–2.0× as wide as dorsal width of one eye, 0.8–0.9× as wide as length of antennal segment I; segment II 0.8–0.9× as long as head width, 0.6× as long as basal width of pronotum; pronotum 1.8–1.9× as wide as long.
GENITALIA. Genital capsule ( Fig. 21A–B View Fig ) subquadrate, short and broad, about 1.5× as wide as long, with large aperture; right lateral wall of capsule deeply excavated, with prominent, apically rounded process. Left paramere ( Fig. 21E View Fig ) scythe-shaped, with slightly and uniformly swollen body and gradually tapering, apically upturned apical process. Right paramere ( Fig. 21C–D View Fig ) somewhat larger than left one, broad, lamellate, with strongly expanded, semicircular body. Aedeagus ( Fig. 21F View Fig ) tubular, C-shaped, very thin and evenly sclerotized, with small, entirely membranous apical lobe; Dorsal wall of aedeagus at base with large, hook-shaped sclerotized outgrowth, apically flattened and serrated.
Female
Unknown.
Host
Unknown. All specimens were attracted to light.
Distribution
Southwestern India , Karnataka state.
Remarks
The new species is easily distinguished from N. sirsiensis gen. et sp. nov. by its more uniform dorsal coloration and striking features of the male genitalia. A peculiar sclerotized outgrowth originating from the extreme base of the aedeagus seems to be a unique feature within eccritotarsines.
