This species differs from N. cristatus in the smaller size; 

 lower carina, less angulate anterior margin, and more scabrous 

 surface of the pronotum; more advanced vertex, with less 

 distinct carina in top view; more projecting vertex, more 

 retreating face, and flatter crown in side view, with excavation 

 opposite the eyes shallow and rounded instead of sharply 

 excised.

Specimens in my collection from the same locality were 

 presented to me by Professor Lugger, and it seems to be a 

 local species closely allied to N. acuininatus, Hancock.

Similar to N. parvus, differing as follows: Larger, includ- 

 ing relative proportions of body. Vertex from above more 

 acute angulate, the mammilla; of occiput more distinct; the 

 antero-dorsal margin of pronotum a little more angulate pro- 

 duced over the head; wings posteriorly reach slightly beyond

 more slender form of the body, besides having the median 

 carina of the pronotum less arcuate longitudinally.
