This species resembles the type of the genus, N. sae- 

 vissinms^ also found at Para; but it has a broader head, its 

 prothorax is proportionally shorter, as is also the metathorax; 

 it differs also in having ferruginous claws and in the co- 

 loration of the wings, and in having the clypeus maculated.
