Moderate-sized, body length is about 7–12 mm, usually with narrow white bands on apical margins of the metasomal terga (Pauly 2005), but these diffuse or sometimes lacking in two species endemic to China, N. pieli and N. fusciventris Zhang & Niu, sp. nov..

Basitibial plate of female delimited by carina anteriorly and laterally (Pauly 2005).
