Java. 



A specimen has existed for many years in the British Museum and 

 several (without precise locality) have been received from the Buitenzorg 

 collection. The species is smaller than N. monticola, HELL, or diaperina, 

 GORH. (which also belongs to the genus), but is closely similar to the latter 

 and almost identical in the coloration of the upper surface. It differs con- 

 spicuously in the pale legs and abdomen. The head and pronotum are 

 less strongly and closely punctured, the lines of punctures upon the elytra 

 are stronger and the intervals more finely punctured. The abdomen is 

 much smoother beneath. The terminal joint of the antenna is a little less 

 transverse.
