Structurally this insect does not appear to differ much fi-om 

 iT. suhrufus. White, except as follows : — the anterior femora are 

 proportionately shorter, and the thorax is strongly bisinuate 

 behind. The colour and markings, however, ai'e quite different. 

 Of a rather pale fuscous colour, it has numerous confused linear 

 markings on the head and anterior lobe of the prothorax, some 

 cloudy spots on the collar and posterior lobe of the prothorax, a 

 number of conspicuous spots on the corium and clavus, the 

 nervures of the membrane and hind wings, the apex of the second 

 joint of the antennae, the apex of the femora, and some fine spots 

 on the legs, all deep blackish fuscous. The scutellnm is black 

 edged with red. The underside is clear testaceous yellow, with 

 the centre of the breast, the lateral margins of the hind body, and 

 a line down the centre of the apical segments of the hind body 

 black. The upper surface of the hind body is of a deep shining 

 black colour, with the lateral margins narrowly testaceous. 



A single specimen occurred on Lanai near a place called Koele.

Allied to N. (?) lusciosus, White. The thorax is thickly 

 blotched with blackish colouring, and the legs are conspicuously 

 annulated with the same colour. The hemelytra do not quite 

 reach the apex of the hind body.
