distally. In N. likonala and N . aequatorialis the subunci are a little longer and more 

 slender than in the preceding species, and the upper process of the valves is folded 

 back towards the apex, against the lower process, both of them ending in a point. 

 In N. staudingeri the valves take a very characteristic form, the two processes being 

 separate almost from the base, the upper one being long, very curved and ending in a 

 point, the lower one, equally long, being apically spatulate. The armature of N. 

 gemmifera is remarkable in the size of the penis, which is enormous in relation to the 

 other parts, shaped like a very elongate oval and encloses, towards the apex, a rather 

 large cuneus.
