• 1. Allotype female; note embryonic eggs between foretrunk and midtrunk and developing cephalic ganglion, female reproductive structures, and genital ligaments.
• 2. A trunk spine from the posterior field of foretrunk spines.
• 3. The proboscis of paratype female in Figure 1. Note the ventral robust hook no. 14 opposite the normal dorsal hook on the other side; boths hooks are blackened. This is a consistent characteristic of male and female specimens of N. peruensis.
• 4. The midtrunk of the holotype male showing the characteristic disposition of the diagonal testes.
• 5. One longitudinal row of selected representative hooks and spines numbered from anterior.
