The other three immature female specimens referred to by Bruner as prob- 

 ably belonging here (under the synonymical name N. Icevicjata Pal.) come 

 from Charles Island, and from their immaturity must be placed here with some 

 doubt, though by the coloi- of the head and pronotum, which are uniformly 

 dark castaneous, and the structure of the terminal parts of the abdomen, it 

 agrees completely with this species and differs from the preceding. Explora- 

 tions U. S. Fish Commission, 1888.

Butler first recorded this species from the Galapagos, his specimens coming 

 from Charles Island. The specimens recorded by Bruner (Explorations U. S. 

 Fish Conmiission, 1888) come from both Charles and Chatham Islands ; while 

 Dr. Baur also obtained two immature specimens at Chatham Island.
