Ohs. This species is sometimes wrongly referred to Nccrohla 

 exiinia, White, Aidicus splendidtis, Che v., Eev. et. Mag. de 

 Zool. 1874 p. 15 seems to me to be the same. It differs a little 

 in facies from typical species of the genus, especially in the pro- 

 thorax less widened, and with a rectilinear constriction in front.
