This and the following species have the tibiaa shorter and more 

 compressed than the preceding ; the elytra also are somewhat de- 

 pressed ; between them, however, are intermediate forms whi^h 

 ' make any trenchant limitation impossible. 



Besides the places mentioned below, there are species from 

 Amboyna, Key, Aru, Saylee, and Sarawak.

The first two joints of the funicle are nearly of equal length in 

 this species; N. geniculatus in this respect is between the two 

 extremes.

Nechyrus porcatus. N. ovatus, niger, squamis crassis vage indutus, 

 etiam perpaucis ochraceis dispersis; rostro piceo, quam prothorace

This species has no tufts on the prothorax ; those on the elytra 

 consist of scales more crowded than elsewhere, and have the ap- 

 pearance of black spots. The ochreoiis scales are very few, and 

 can only be seen under a good lens.
