Status Dhondt (1973) states that the species "is known from a very pooriy preserved specimen in the Muséum d'Histoire naturelle in Geneva: it has smooth areas and very salient principal ribs and four unequal intercalaries, of which the two middle ones are the more developed. It is thus undoubtedly closely related to N. syriaca but whether both species are synonymous cannot be decided on such incomplete." [details]
