The pubescence of the scutcllnm is of a dark buff <'ah)ur. The jiiuictuation of

Differs from its nearest allied species, N. it.lra sp. nov., in the sparser and 

 more regular punctuation of the elrtra, in the coloui' of the prothorax, })rosternum, 

 and four anterior legs, in the fifth abdominal segment being devoid of a transverse 

 im])ression at the ajjcx, and having the apical margin not recurved, and in the 

 suture being clothed anteriorly with a silky buff pubescence.

Long. 17i mm., elytr. \'Z{, lat. 2j. 



The black and glossy elytra have a peculiar olive groeu tint, such as may be 

 seen iu N. regina sp. uov. and in N. dux sp. nov. The mesosteruum, intermediate 

 legs, posterior trochanters, and the last abdominal segment are feebly tinged with 

 tawny. Most of the long hairs of tlie abdomen, especially at its apex, are of a buff 

 colour. 



Hah. Kuiln (A. Mocqnerys, 1892). 



The prothorax is as long as in lY. aim sji. nov., and somewhat longer than in 

 N. frontalis sp. nov., with the upjierside similar in colour to that oi' N . fronlalia ;
