In Bingham's table {I.e., p. 448), this species comes into 

 "^. Abdomen with non-pubescent transverse fasciae," 

 and " b. a)-. Thorax with more or less fulvous pubescence," 

 "«^ Legs rufo-fulvous or ferruginous," presently repre- 

 sented by N. chalybeaia Sm. and N. curvipes Fab., from 

 either of which it is very different ; from N. chalybeata by 

 the abdomen not having blue-green fasciae and by the 

 spined femora ; from N. curvipes by the femora having a 

 large projecting tooth and not a semicircular incision, 

 and by the apical projection on the hinder tibiae being 

 broader and blunter, not ending in a sharp curved tooth.
