This species is greatly,at variance with Pascoe’s characteri- 
zation of the genus, as the second joint of the funicle is shorter 
than the first; in other respects it agrees very well with the 
other species of this genus. It is black, covered with minute, 
equally mixed brown and ochraceous scales; only a_ stripe 
on each side of thorax and a triangular patch in first third of 
suture, the summit of which converges into the scutellum, nearly 
entirely black; rostrum densely rugulose punctate, in the middle 
third with a bare dorsal stripe; second joint of funicle shorter 
than first (8:11), club as long as the five preceding joints 
together; prothorax broader than median length, its anterior 
margin more produced and the scales larger and more erect than 
in N. nebulosus; elytra rather finely punctate-striate, none of 
the strie incurved toward the other on base; inside of shoulder 
with a large, flat, basal impression, suture near base with ‘a row 
of three or four approximate granules which are larger; these 
become more distant in the remaining part and inconspicuous 
toward apex; similar granules are to be found in the first third 
of second and third intervals where they are sometimes set in 
double rows and grouped beside the dark basal impression; un- 
derside of body whitish scaled, femora toothed, as in nebulosus, 
the anterior more swollen.
