The antennal segments are much shorter than indicated 
in Bolivar’s figure, and the mesonotal keels exclude it from 
Leptisolabis ; it therefore falls into Ctenisolabis. 
It is easy to recognize by the relatively large eine uniform 
red legs and remote, arcuate forceps of the male : e of the 
female are the same as in other female a that is, 
simple, and contiguous,

This little species, with a Girecioial resemblance to an 
ant, differs from N. philetas, which it otherwise resembles, in 
the form of the pronotum ; it is smaller and blacker than 
N. willeyi. 
The female is a little larger than the male but the two 
sexes are very much alike
