Based by some details of the body, this species is similar to Malaysian <em>N. thayeri</em> Shavrin, 2020, from which can be distinguished by different proportions of the pronotum and the elytra, and different morphology of the aedeagus. This is the first record of the genus from the Himalayan Region and India.</p> ALEXEY SHAVRIN Copyright (c) 2024 Magnolia press 2024-06-27 2024-06-27 51 1 1 5 10.12976/jib/2024.51.1.1 https://mapress.com/jib/article/view/2024.51.1.2 <p>Using mainly data from bibliographic records and revision of some specimens deposited in institutions and private collections, an updated checklist of the checkered beetles (Coleoptera: Cleridae) of Peru is presented.
