482 NOTES ON AUSTRALIAN COLEOPTERA, 



This remarkably fine species resembles D. aurulenta, Kirby, 

 from which it differs apart from colour in its considerably larger 

 size, in the extremely strong apical angles of its prothorax, the 

 larger lateral tooth of the same, the sides strongly crenulate in 

 their front half, the longitudinal channel not divided and the 

 transverse sulcus entire ; also in the differently punctured 

 pygidium.
