   The 
  male 
  ( 
  = 
  type) 
  taken 
  April 
  7, 
  1912, 
  the 
  female 
  April 
  18, 
  

   1912. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  not 
  very 
  close 
  to 
  any 
  described 
  Japanese 
  species. 
  

   In 
  Schmiedeknecht's 
  tables 
  (Apidae 
  Europsese) 
  the 
  male 
  runs 
  

   nearest 
  to 
  N. 
  rujicornis, 
  L., 
  which 
  is 
  much 
  larger, 
  and 
  differs 
  

   in 
  face-markings 
  and 
  colour 
  of 
  scape. 
  The 
  female 
  runs 
  to 
  

   N. 
  thersites, 
  Schm., 
  which 
  is 
  evidently 
  closely 
  allied, 
  differing 
  

   from 
  harimenns 
  by 
  the 
  black 
  markings 
  on 
  the 
  femora, 
  

   markings 
  of 
  abdomen, 
  &c.
