Material examined. 1♀ 1♂ (IZCAS-Ar33971), Dabadi ( 27.786267°N, 98.510283°E, elev. 3200 m), 41 km of Derung-Nu Autonomous County Gongshan , Nujiang of the Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, China, 11 December 2013, Y. Li & J. Liu leg.

Diagnosis. Males of this species can be distinguished from N. brevipatellatus Z. Zhao & S. Li sp. n. by the long patellar apophysis, subequal to the length of patella, while it is obvious short in N. brevipatellatus Z. Zhao & S. Li sp. n.; and cymbial furrow short, less than ½ of the length of cymbium, while it is about ⅓ in N. brevipatellatus Z. Zhao & S. Li sp. n. ( Figs 1C, 5C), and median apophysis absent ( Figs 1B–C, 5B–C). Females of the species can be distinguished from N. brevipatellatus Z. Zhao & S. Li sp. n. by the spermathecal heads whose width equal to the length while in N. brevipatellatus Z. Zhao & S. Li sp. n., the width of spermathecal heads is longer than the length ( Figs 2B, 6B); the posterior epigynal sclerite semicircular and uncovered while in N. brevipatellatus Z. Zhao & S. Li sp. n., the posterior epigynal sclerite covered by the extended posterior edge of atrium ( Figs 2A, 6A).
