Conservation Status

Missing [by implication] (Reimer et al., 2011)

 

This species was described in 1972 (Herberts, 1972), but never reported again (Reimer et al., 2011). The genus was reportedly rediscovered based upon specimens from Japan and the Great Barrier Reef, Australia (Reimer et al., 2011), which were subsequently described as N. uchina and N. caleyi, respectively (Reimer et al., 2012).
