sinuate; antennae ochraceous, the apical joint infuscate, 



first joint not reaching apex of head, second and third 



subequal in length, each a little shorter than fourth or fifth ; 



pronotum nearly twice as broad between humeral angles as 



median length, posterior half black, thickly punctate, 



anterior half testaceous, less thickly punctate, with two large 



black spots near each anterior angle, behind these are two 



central levigate pale ochraceous spots only separated by a 



series of dark punctures, the anterior lateral margins also 



pale ochraceous, posterior angles obtusely prominent ; 



scutellum black or dark castaneous, thickly coarsely punctate, 



with a large oblique levigate pale ochraceous spot near each 



basal angle; corium coarsely punctate, the basal area dull 



ochraceous, darkly punctate, the apical area blackish ; head 



beneath black, its basal margin ochraceous ; sternum dull 



ochraceous, thickly darkly punctate, its lateral margins 



paler and impunctate, posterior angles of prosternum and 



sublateral margins of meso- and metasterna black or 



blackish : abdomen beneath shining black, the lateral 



margins ochraceous, somewhat thickly punctate, extreme 



lateral margin with small black spot at the segmental 



incisures ; leg ochraceous spotted with black. 



Long 5 to 5^ mm.

Allied to N. formosa, Dist., but with the basal angular 

 levigate spots to scutellum much smaller and much wider 

 apart, the levigate discal space on pronotum divided by 

 punctures, &c, this last character also separating it from 

 N. fasciolata, Stal, which is thus described : " marginibus 

 lateralibus anticis, fasciolaque discoidali laevigatus thoracis."

The fishes of the order Zeomorphi are acanthopterous physo-
