  The 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  hinder 
  femora 
  and 
  tibiae 
  most 
  nearly 
  

   resembles 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  Indian 
  N. 
  combusta 
  and 
  the 
  African 
  

   /V. 
  calida, 
  but 
  otherwise 
  it 
  is 
  very 
  distinct. 
  The 
  femora 
  

   are 
  formed 
  pretty 
  much 
  as 
  in 
  N. 
  dirysopa, 
  but 
  otherwise 
  

   there 
  is 
  no 
  resemblance.
