than long (5-5 x 7 mm.), about same width (4-7 mm.) at base and 

 apex; sides strongly rounded, meeting base in an even curve; 

 border wide, reilexed; lateral basal impressions short, deep, uniting 

 with lateral channel at posterior extremity. Elytra truncate- 

 oval (13x8 mm.); lateral apical sinuosities wide; lateral border 

 wide and sharply reflexed from humeral angle to apical sinuosity; 

 eighth interstice wider than ninth on basal half, tenth short, well 

 developed towards apex. Intercoxal declivity of prosternum flat, 

 but not bordered on sides; of mesosternum concave. Length 24, 

 breadth 8 mm. 



A second specimen (9) with prothorax narrow^er (5-5 x 6*5 mm.), 

 more narrowed to base (4-3 mm.).

Closely resembling N. (eneomicans, Chaud., but I think distinct. 

 The following differences may be noted : — Prothorax with sides 

 more evenly rounded and meeting the base in a curve without 

 any sinuosity, basal angles obtuse; basal border of elytra with its 

 posterior margin much less arcuate (sloping far less decidedly 

 forward to the humeral angles), and only a little raised above the 

 lateral border (not dentate) at point of junction.

Elliptical-oval, robust, black. Head large (3*4 mm. across eyes), 

 convex; frontal impressions strongly impressed, divergent poste- 

 riorly; eyes convex, not prominent (eyes with orbits reniform); 

 postocular part of orbits greatly developed, protuberant but not 

 so prominent as eyes. Prothorax smooth, broader than long 

 (3 '9 X 4 5 mm.), widest before middle, lightly narrowed to base; 

 apex (3-4 mm.) broader than base (3-2mm.); sides lightly rounded; 

 base lightly emarginate; basal angles a little marked, obtuse; 

 lateral border thick, narrow, wider posteriorly, lightly subsinuate 

 just before basal angles, extending round basal angles; posterior 

 marginal puncture in the wide lateral channel at basal angle;
