This speeies, of which I have four specimeus before me 

 and which were obtained by Mr. Conradt at Barombi differs 

 from the preeeding in the brown, not testaceous colour of the 

 Upper parts and of the abdomen, in the longer antennae, "Ihe 

 unspotted thorax, the elytral sutural depression and the sexual 

 characters of the abdomen, the penis scareelj difl'ers from that 

 of JV. Stavdingeri. There is a great difference in the structm-e 

 of the antennae in the female which are short and in which the 

 terminal joints are broadly flattened, forming an elongate chib 

 and which mar on that aecount easily be mistaken for another 

 specics, in all other respcct, save the last abdominal segment, 

 the sexes are identical.
