Hah. Canara, in South India [A. Bell). 



Tliis species agrees closely in structural characters with 

 N. Pascoei, Lac, and N.fuscipennis, Gah., but has the pro- 

 thorax somewhat more strongly luberculate at the middle of 

 each side, the scutellum more prolonged behind, and the elytra 

 each furnished with a short sutural spine at the apex. It may 

 be further distinguished by its coloration, being entirely of a 

 somewhat reddish fulvous, with the exception of a small 

 portion at the apex of the elytra which is violet-blue, and 

 of the antennge, of which the two proximal joints only are 

 fulvous. 



Although this species has the elytra spined at the apices, it 

 accords in other respects much better with Lacordaire's second 

 section of the genus, the remaining species of which have the 

 elytra unarmed at the apex.

Long. 19, lat. 4-75 mm. 



Ilab. Baram, in North-west Borneo {Everett). 



Head rather sparsely punctured in front, more densely 

 above and on the sides ; impressed along the middle in front 

 with a linear groove which extends backwards above, betw(.'en 

 the antennse and eyes, as far as the middle of a small sparsely- 

 punctured dorsal area. Prothorax thickly punctured above, 

 except along the anterior margin, on a small centro-dorsal 

 area, and over each of two feebly raised and obtuse tubercles 

 which are placed towards each side. Elytra very closely 

 punctured, of a rather dark dull green colour, but each with a 

 dorsal vitta of a somewhat brassy and brighter colour. The 

 body underneath isalso green, but is clothed with a faintsilvery- 

 grey pubescence. The legs and antennfe are dark blue, the 

 peduncles of the femora only being greenish. The antennae 

 of the male are more than half as long again as the body j 

 the first and third joints only are sulcate along their anterior 

 or inner surface; the third is about half as long again as the 

 fourth.
