This species and several of its varieties, resemble in their 

 coloration many of their numerous allies, nota1)ly N. frontale 

 Baly, N. mneipenne Baly and others, but differs from all in the 

 acutely raised humeral callus which is contiguous with another 

 ridge towards the sides ; the colour of the thorax and that of 

 the legs is very variable^ but in all specimens this humeral 

 costa is very distinct.
