Redescription of hypopygium (Figs 4, 13–19). Genital capsule brown to dark brown, apices of surstyli paler (Figs 4, 13). Ventral lobe of surstylus (Fig. 14) forked, with pointed projection bearing one strong, curved seta at apex and one straight seta at base of projection. Dorsal lobe of surstylus (Fig. 15) elongate, cup-shaped; apex with microtrichia. Apicoventral epandrial lobe (Fig. 16) very similar to N. lopesi sp. nov., four-branched, with one branch unsclerotized, delicate, arborescent-like with several tiny hairs. Basolateral epandrial lobe (Fig. 17) simple, digitiform. Hypandrium (Fig. 18) with distal part simple, without projections. Postgonite (Fig. 18) with pointed apex and few microtrichia. Cercus (Fig. 19) with dark, sclerotized, lateral part; medial part delicate, with digitiform projection, bifurcated at apex bearing one modified seta anteriad.

Remarks. The overall description of N. orbicularis by Naglis (2003) is very accurate and we found no substantial differences from our specimens, as such, we have only provided a more detailed description and illustration of the male hypopygium.

Distribution. Paraguay and Brazil (State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Pantanal biome, and State of São Paulo, Atlantic Forest biome).
