often in company with Gnatholahis hirsuta, Ohaus, to which, 

 in its general aspect and coloration, it bears a marked 

 resemblance. It is remarkable, to an even greater degree 

 than that species, for the extreme variability of its elytral 

 coloration. Typically yellow, with a longitudinal black 

 stripe on each elytron, dilating near the middle, the stripe 

 is sometimes scarcely traceable, sometimes red instead of 

 black, and sometimes interrupted in the middle. Occasion- 

 ally the elytra are entirely black, whilst in pale and dark 

 forms the legs may be either yellow or black. The pro- 

 notum and pygidium, as well as the lower surface, with the 

 exception of a bare median line, are densely clothed with 

 pale yellow hair, sometimes more or less rubbed away from 

 pronofnm and pygidium. The clypeus is more elongate 

 than in the other species of the genns, the punctures of the 

 pronotum do not coalesce transversely as in N. ludificans, 

 the hind angles are rounded off, and the mesosternal process 

 is strongly developed but not long.
