MATERIAL EXAMINED. Madagascar: 2 ♂, “Tamatave [= Toamasina?] Prov., Mantadia – Andasibe”, Analamazaotra National Park, Special Reserve (18°93´S, 48°43´E), at light, 10.XII.2004, G. Beccaloni (NHM, ZIN); 6 ♂, 3 ♀, Toamasina Prov., Moramanga Distr., Analamazaotra Forest Station near Andasibe Vill. (18°56´S, 48°25´E), ~ 900 m, at light, 1–20.III.2013, A. Gorochov (ZIN); 1 ♂, same province and district, ~ 10 km NW of Andasibe Vill., Torotorofotsy Forest Reserve, ~ 1000 m, at light, 22.II–11.III.2013, A. Gorochov (ZIN).

DESCRIPTION. Female (nov.). General appearance similar to that of male holotype [Gorochov, 2004] but with following characteristic features: coloration yellowish with brown head dorsum and apices of mandibles, dark brown eyes, light brown apices of both labrum and maxillae, a pair of blackish or dark brown dots on middle part of pronotal disc (dark or darkish stripe along posterior edge of this disc, developed in all males, absent), light brown tegminal dorsal field having barely darker venation, semitransparent and yellowish tegminal lateral field having light brown veins, and sometimes light brown tibiae and areas on tarsi; external structure of body similar also to that of male of N. brunnea sp.n., but dorsal tegminal field with only 8–10 slightly irregular oblique branches as well as moderately numerous and partly irregular crossveins, and lateral tegminal field with 8– 9 obliguely longitudinal branches of Sc and without crossveins; genital plate barely narrowing to distinctly notched apex having a pair of widely rounded apical lobes around angular but not deep posteromedian notch; ovipositor more or less similar to that of Ocellotrella gen.n.

Length in mm (♀). Body 12.5–13.5; body with wings 18– 19; pronotum 1.8–1.9; tegmina 13.2–13.7; hind femora 7– 7.5; ovipositor 5.5–5.8.

REMARKS. All the above-listed males are practically identical to each other and to the holotype of N. picta in their characteristic coloration, size and structure of body; but one of them lacks dark dots on the pronotal disc, and there is a slight variability in the shape of the posterolateral epiphallic projections. The species is recorded from this locality at the first time, because it was described from another Madagascan locality [Gorochov, 2004: “Ambohitomba”]).
