Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (lc)
Comment:
Comments: Morphological and geographic limits outlined by Musser (1970b, 1973a, 1981b), who also reported that the species is represented by few specimens, and is most closely related to N. eha in morphological features, a conclusion echoed by Corbet and Hill (1992). We have not examined the material upon which the Chinese record is based
