This species is closely allied to N. brevilabris, from which it 

 differs in having the labrum black and a little longer, with sharp 

 teeth, the central one being a little shorter than the adjacent ones; 

 the head and the elytra are shorter and broader, and the sculpture 

 of the latter is very slightly finer, the punctures being a little 

 more separated ; the head and pronotnm are shorter and thicker 

 than in JS T . maindroni, the forehead also being much flatter and 

 less excavate behind, and the labrum is shorter ; from N. parvula 

 it may be distinguished by its shallow forehead, short labrum, and 

 by not having the pronotum strongly contracted in front ; and 

 from N. linearis, N. variitarsis, and N~. subtilis by its short labrum, 

 shorter head, and less excavate forehead ; the sculpture of the 

 elytra, too, is finer and less close than in the first two of these 

 species.
