Luzon, Los Bafios; Benguet, Baguio (Baker). This species 
was briefly described by F. Smith from the Philippine Islands, 
the particular island not stated. I have examined Smith’s type 
in the British Museum. Bingham recorded the species from 
“Sikhim; Tenasserim; Ceylon; Philippines;” remarking how- 
ever that the variety he described appeared to be intermediate 
between the Philippine N. lusca and the Indian N. adusta. I have 
little doubt that true N. lusca is confined to the Philippines, 
the Indian specimens belonging to one or more distinct species. 
Bingham was inclined to lump species in Nomada; thus he placed 
N. subpetiolata Smith as a synonym of N. adusta Smith, but 
Meade-Waldo later reéstablished it as a valid species.
