before the middle. D. distincta is probably a variety of the preceding with the 
discal spot on each elytron obliterated. The Guatemalan specimen in the British 
Museum determined as D. princeps by Boheman? belongs here; there is perhaps 
some mistake about this locality, as all the Guatemalan specimens I have seen of this 
genus belong to the preceding, D. bisbiplagiata.

The type of this species ( ¢ ) is contained in the Baly collection. D. conspersipennis 
is closely allied to the variable D. variegata (Fabr.), from Cayenne. Panama specimens 
are much smaller than the type, and they have the elytra more rugosely punctured. 
The two transverse markings in the expanded margins of the elytra are much smaller 
and narrower than in D. variegata, and they are usually disconnected and distant from 
the similarly coloured exterior limb; the anterior one, as well as several of the spots 
on the disc, is often entirely obsolete. The colour of the prothorax and of the 
markings of the elytra varies from greenish-eneous to black; the prothorax often has 
an oblong sanguineous spot on either side of the disc behind. The type from the 
Baly collection is figured.

T have seen five specimens of this species from the Isthmus of Panama. They vary 
a good deal as regards the distribution of the eneous colour on the elytra, the disc 
being sometimes wholly suffused. The broadly expanded margins are marked with 
from 6-8 irregular spots, the anterior ones being strongly transverse and larger than 
the others, all distant from the similarly-coloured exterior limb. A single specimen 
from Colombia in the Baly collection no doubt belongs to a variety of the same 
species; it has the elytra entirely greenish-zeneous, with the exception of a large 
sanguineous patch on the expanded margin before the middle, this patch being marked 
with three irregular transverse sneous fascie. Another specimen in the same 
collection is intermediate between this and the var. B of Baly.
