His iden- tification was confirmed based on photographs of the male primary and secondary sexual characters. Etymology. The specific epithet (Latin, adjective) refers to the subbasally angled dorso-lateral apophyses of the aedeagus. Description. Body length mm; length of forebody mm. External characters (Figs 83, 88-89), includ- ing coloration, as in N. extensus. S'- sternite VI unmodified; sternite VII not distinctly modified (Fig. 84); sternite VIII with unmodified pubes- cence, posterior excision small, its depth approximately times the length of sternite (Figs 85, 90); aedeagus mm long; dorso-lateral apophyses long, subbasal- ly with (usuaslly) angular projection, and slightly project- ing beyond apex of ventral process; ventral process api- cally of characteristic shape both in lateral and in ventral view (Figs 86-87, 91-92). Intraspecific variation. The shape of the dorso-lateral apophyses is apparently subject to some intraspecific vari- ation. In the male from the environs of Muyuping the dor- so-lateral apophyses are subbasally not distinctly angled, but curved (Figs 91-92). The male sternite VIII (Fig. 90) and the external characters (Figs 88-89), however, are identical to those of material from other localities. More- over, the locality to the northwest of Muyuping is situat- ed between Chongqing and Da Shennongjia, where males with angular dorso-lateral apophyses were found, suggest- ing that
