The type species, ''
N. costipennis'', was originally described as "''Colaspis costipennis''" by Lefèvre in 1877, which makes the name a junior homonym of ''
Colaspis costipennis

''
Crotch, 1873; however, Jan Bechyné considered it worthless to correct the homonymy after having established a new genus for the Lefèvre species.
Separately,
Doris Holmes Blake renamed the Lefèvre species to "''Colaspis lophodes''" in 1974.
The generic placement of the
Central American species ''
N. femoralis'' and ''
N. impressa'' is uncertain; they were transferred to ''Nodocolaspis'' from ''Colaspis'' by Jan Bechyné in 1953 and 1958, but Flowers (1996) disagreed with the validity of the transfers and included them in ''Colaspis'', where they have been traditionally placed.
