Comments

Taxonomy from ŠTAMBERG 2010.

Diagnosis (ŠTAMBERG 2010, p.185): “Small aeduellid with elongate body, more slender than in N. rzehaki, not exceeding 75 mm in total length. The total body length being 5 times the head length, and 5.1 times the maximum body height. Length of anal fin slightly shorter than the length of the dorsal fin. Base of the anal and dorsal fins without any field of small scales. Caudal peduncle long. Dorsal scaled lobe of caudal fin orientated at 20–25 degrees relative to the body axis. Frontal/parietal length ratio about 1.1. Orbit large. Small suborbital bones posterior to orbit. Length of maxilla 2.2 times its height. Very small axe-shaped preopercular with vertically orientated anterior margin in its dorsal region. Opercular very tall, its height being equal to that of the subopercular. Opercular-subopercular suture oblique. Two branchiostegal rays. One pair of lateral gular. Posterior margin of trunk scales conspicuously pectinate. Scale count as follows:
