tibiae and the tarsi being sometimes pitchy. Male with the head 

 more ovate than in the female, the antennae longer, and the

Allied to N. redtenbacheri, from which it differs in having the 

 five intermediate teeth of the labrnm strong and blunt, and 

 the exterior one on each side sharp and a little separated from 

 the rest, and also in having the elytra more elongate, with the 

 shoulders more obsolete, and the whole upper surface more finely 

 and closely punctured, the punctures in the middle being thicker 

 but not larger ; the head is a little longer, with the sides less 

 rounded behind the eyes, and the frontal sulci stronger and 

 somewhat curved ; the pronotum is a little shorter, but does not 

 differ materially ; the antenna? are variable in colour, but the 

 terminal joints are often indistinctly dark at the apex ; from 

 N. variitarsis the species differs in having the head broader 

 behind, the pronotum less elongate and less slender, and in the 

 somewhat broader elytra. 



Length 12^-13 millim.

 It seems doubtful whether the preceding species is not merely 

 a variety of the present one.

 Collyris brachycephala, W. Horn, Ann. Mus. Genova, 1893, p. 378. 



A small, very slender coppery-green or violaceous species, 

 closely allied to A r . attenuata, but smaller, with the head narrower 

 and more elongate ; this character, however, is variable ; the 

 forehead is less deeply excavate and the sulci on each side are 

 not so strong; the pronotum is evidently more slender and the 

 pronotal column even less marked : the elytra are narrower, with 

 the shoulders more obsolete, but quite as strongly punctured, and 

 the sides of the metasternum are impunctate ; the antennae are 

 dark at base and then rufescent, and the legs are variable in
