Abdominal ventrites 1 and 2 quite fused, with slight depression in middle. Ventrite 1 about 1.8 times as long as metacoxal cavity. Ventrite 2 slightly shorter than ventrite 1. Ventrites 3 and 4 quite short, equal in length. Ventrite 3 about 0.5 times as long as ventrite 2. Ventrite 5 about 2.3 times as long as ventrite 4. Pygidium covered by elytra. Legs long. Femora widened. Tibiae weakly biconcave, uncinate. Tarsi long. Tarsomeres 1-3 with weak pulvilli on lower surface. Tarsomere 1 conical. Tarsomere 2 wide-conical, wider and shorter than tarsomere 1. Tarsomere 3 wide bilobed. Tarsmomere 4 short. Tarsomere 5 elongated. Claws long and free. Length of body: 3.1 mm. Length of rostrum: 1.0- 1.1 mm.

Differential diagnosis. The new species is similar to N. ( A.) imprudens Faust, 1885 from Kyrgyzstan (fig. 2) but differs from it in the smaller body sizes, the pronotum punctate by large points, densely punctate elytral interstriae with long setae, and the apex of the aedeagus weakly extended forward.

Etymology. The species is named in honor of Dr. Izbasar Temreshev ( Kazakhstan, Almaty).
