Epigyne: epigynal field slightly longer than wide; anterior rim entire; median septum wider than long (Fig. 96).

diagnosis
Diagnosis. Females of N. lucea sp. nov. resemble those of N. jamaicana sp. nov. (Fig. 79), in the median septum with posterior median protrusion (Fig. 96). They are distinguished from this species by the anterior rim recurved, median septum with anterior margin V-shaped and by the median protrusion triangular (Fig. 96).
