Description: Small, flattened, with a distinct keel, flat dorsally, gently convex ventrally but concave medially; distinguished from N. finlayi by intersutural ribs consistently extending to the anterior suture; chambers strongly recurved dorsally.
Distribution: Waiauan to lower Waipipian.
Comment: Used by Collen (1972) as a zonal species for pre-Waipipian strata in Wanganui Basin. Populations indistinguishable from topotypes of N. hurupiensis occur in Waipipian strata in the East Coast Basin in northern Hawkes Bay at Whakaki.
