Head brassy copper : thorax and elytra of a rich blue black, the 

 margins rather brassy : head about the same width as the thorax, 

 with the frontal sulci parallel : thorax convex, narrowed behind, 

 the anterior and posterior margins thickly punctured, the lateral 

 margins less so : a small fovea about the centre of each half of the 

 thorax : elytra rather convex, elongate, slightly ovate, punctate, 

 striated : the strioe equidistant, not very deep, and vanishing before 

 the apex : a small impression between the third and fourth strife 

 on the disk : antennas black, with the four basal joints nifo-testa- 

 ceous : palpi black, with the basal joints rufous : legs black, the 

 tibiae testaceous in the middle. Allied to N. aquaticus, but may 

 be distinguished by its greater size and convexity : the head is 

 larger in proportion : the dorsal channel of the thorax is not so 

 deep, and the margins are not so broadly punctured : the striae of 

 the elytra are less deeply impressed. In N. Newmanni (which is 

 a smaller insect) the head is broader in proportion : the thorax 

 more attenuated posteriorly. From N. parallelus, which is about 

 the same size, nitidulus differs in being much more convex : the 

 head is broader : the thorax rather longer, and not so broadly, but 

 more coarsely punctured : the elytra are laot so long, and more 

 ovate : the striae more remote.
