Chatham Island, 1 female, Explorations U. S. Fish Commission, 1888. 



This species differs from ^4. maritima Bon., to whicli it was at first referred 

 by Bruner (but with douljt), in the much shorter antennfe with fewer joints and 

 different coloring, the banding of the legs, the presence of a lateral carina on 

 the last abdominal segment, and the somewhat stouter forceps. It seems to be 

 more nearly allied to the group of species of Anisolabis found in Westei'u 

 America, — A. aztcca, A. annulicornis, A. anioni, etc., — in which the antenufe 

 have some of the subapical joints of a strikingly diilerent color from the rest.

The three specimens from Chatham Island referred liy Bruner to N. hivittata 

 Brunn. (a s3nionym of the above) undoulitedly belong here. I notice in all of 

 them, as in a s])ecimen from Mazatlan in my collection, that the dai'k band 

 between the eyes is not only Ijroador, but also luore deeply colored, tlian that 

 between the antenna;, a point whicli tlie various descriptions of this species do 

 not appear to mention. Explorations U. S. Fish Commission, 1888.
