  The

  excluding 
  the 
  membrane, 
  is 
  more 
  or 
  

   less 
  sufifused

  It 
  occurs 
  apparently 
  with

  Blackburn 
  does 
  not 
  mention 
  the 
  curious 
  horns 
  on 
  the 
  head, 
  but 
  

   the 
  incrassation 
  of 
  the 
  antennae 
  indicates 
  its 
  probable 
  position 
  in 
  

   this 
  genus.

  for 
  the

  This 
  differs 
  so 
  much 
  from 
  my 
  description 
  of 
  A'', 
  selium, 
  that 
  I 
  

   fear 
  there 
  is 
  some 
  mistake 
  therein. 
  I 
  cannot 
  refer 
  now, 
  however, 
  

   to 
  the 
  unique 
  type 
  of 
  the 
  latter. 
  

  

  N. 
  insularis 
  differs 
  by 
  the 
  pronotum 
  not 
  being 
  constricted 
  (!), 
  

   and 
  by 
  the 
  metanotal 
  spine 
  being 
  subacute. 
  The 
  fore 
  femora 
  

   are 
  nearly 
  twice 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  coxae, 
  and 
  much 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  

   tibiae 
  and 
  tarsi 
  together. 
  In 
  profile 
  the 
  head 
  is 
  much 
  higher 
  on 
  

   the 
  anterior 
  lobe 
  than 
  on 
  the 
  posterior; 
  eyes 
  small. 
  Head 
  and

  The
