New Guinea (Milne Bay) and Mysol. A peeuliar species, distinguishable at a glance from all others by its very broad spinal stripe, the seal-brown colour of which stands out in strong contrast to the general light bufiy-woodbrown tinge of the back. Premaxilla; more proclivoiis than in other species (fig. G4), their alveolar branches lower (less expanded vertically) ; orbits unusually large ; zygomata more widely expanded, postorbital processes longer and stouter than in the other large species, frisntal sinuses slightly less inflated, coronoid process narrower and nioro sloping backward, its front margin with hardly any trace of a keel for the insertion of the temporal muscle (compare N. r/emimis, p. 709),.
