Although the amount of difference between this and the Mexican 7. luciani is not 
great, its constancy, as displayed in the large number of specimens taken at Chontales, 
makes it necessary to distinguish the form by a separate name. JBesides the tenuity of 
the dorsal yellow line of the thorax and scutellum, and the brighter colour of the line 
and other stripes and spots, the ground-colour of the body shows a constant difference 
in shade, and the elytra are more distinctly produced at the sutural angle of the apex.

M. Thomson rightly changed the name he originally proposed, on account of its

Six species of this genus are known, all, except one, from Central America and the 
warmer parts of Mexico. The only exception (D. quadriteniata, White) is from 
Venezuela and Ecuador. The species are amongst the largest and most beautiful of 
Tropical-American Longicornia. They are distinguished from Teniotes and Hammo- 
derus by their style of coloration and the form of the head, the sides of which behind
