discussion
Notes. The taxonomy and identification of N. ochlerata requires additional study. This species, described from the male only, may prove to be associated with one described from females only, such as N. xanthura Cockerell (see also other poorly understood brown-spined forms such as N. mendica Mitchell, described from the male, and N. composita described from the female; these should all be compared with N. gracilis Cresson, now known from both sexes following association of N. inepta Mitchell as a synonym).
