Comes into Bingham's Section (/.<:.) ''A. b. Post-scu- 

 tellum unarmed posteriorly, a}. Thorax with more or less 

 fulvous pubescence," consisting of N. curvipes P'ab., the $ 

 of which differs in having the hinder femora "rufo-

 at the apex, and the hinder tibiae are broadly black at the 

 base ; N. cJialybeaia differs from it in having the 

 femora not so much swollen nor toothed ; N. varipes 

 Cam. agrees with it closely ; but may be separated by 

 the rufous, not black, base of the hinder femora and by 

 their having only one large tooth. 



Head, except on the sides of the vertex, densely 

 covered with long, fulvous hair ; the vertex, except near 

 the ocelli, bearing rather large, distinctly separated, 

 punctures ; the base of the mandibles yellow, the middle 

 piceous, the apex black. The scape of antennae yellow, 

 except on the apex above ; the flagellum fulvous, black 

 above to near the apex. Thorax densely covered with
