Hi Martin, thanks for the detailed answer! I also noticed that the length of the snout was shorter when compared with the illustration of N. danielssoni, but in a photo in Yimlahi et al. (2017) the snout looks shorter than the illustration, so I thought there might be some variation.

What still bothers me is the lenght of the last flagellomere, which should be barely longer than the preceding one for N. cylindricornis, but in my specimen is much longer. Maybe there is also some variation in this characteristic.

Paul, I'll send you the original description.
