discussion
Notes. Bielawski (1960) described it from Java and the adult is almost circular in shape with large brownish black maculae on the pronotum and elytra. The male genitalia appear to be similar to the types found in N. pumilus and N. fulvescens. Bielawski (1960) compared it with N. limbatus but among the species of the Indian region, only the darker variants of N. fumidus come close to this species in terms of coloration and N. fumidus can be separated from it by its distinctly elongate outline and the male genitalia. Canepari (2003) recorded it from Nepal.
