rated from the face, not more closely punctured than the head, 

 antennae flavous, the apical joints darker, slightly thickened; 

 thorax one half broader than long, distinctly angulate at the 

 middle, piceous, very deeply and coarsely but not very closely 

 punctured, elytra wider at the base than the thorax, the basal 

 portion strongly raised, bounded at the sides and posteriorly by 

 a deep depression, the latter impressed with strong punctures 

 of wich some are also visible below the shoulder, the rest of 

 the surface entirely impunctate, with the exception of a fine 

 row of punctures near the suture.

Closely allied to N. gestroi but differing in the colour of the

 long, the sides strongly obliquely narrowed from base to apex, 

 subangulate close to the base, the posterior angles tuberculiform, 

 the surface closely and distinctly punctured at the sides but 

 very remotely at the disc, the latter with a transverse very 

 deep and strongly punctured groove close to the anterior mar-
