Metallic-green, bright, Front metallic-green. Antennas black ; 

 on the under side of the first joint I am not able to discover any 

 lighter coloring ; third joint rather blunt at the tip. Face gray- 

 ish-yellow, nearly ochre-yellow. Palpi yellow. Cilia of the in- 

 ferior orbit pale-yellowish. Ilypopygium black ; lamellae of medium 

 size, ovate, white, with narrow black border, on the apical margin 

 somewhat jagged and fringed with black bristles. The four poste- 

 rior coxae blackish with yellow tip. Fore coxae yellow, only at 

 the extreme basis somewhat blackened, upon the anterior side 

 beset with very delicate black hairs, which do not reach to their 

 base. Feet pale yellow. Hind femora with a bristle before the 

 tip, upon the greater part of the under side sparsely ciliated with 

 moderately long yellowish hairs. Hind tibiae stout, but not 

 exactly thickened, not hairy upon the first half of the hind side ; 

 brownish at the extreme end. Fore tarsi twice as long as the 

 tibiae; their four first joints very slender, yellow; the first joint 

 nearly as long as the three following ones together; the third 

 somewhat shorter than the second ; the fourth hardly half as lone 

 as the third ; the fifth joint black, flattened, broad, still not as large 

 as in D. batillifer ; upon its upper edge it is beset with appressed 

 minute black hairs. Middle tarsi from the tip of the first joint 

 blackened. Hind tarsi entirely black. Cilia of the tegulae yel- 

 lowish-white. Wings hyaline, somewhat grayish, at the tip of the 

 first longitudinal vein with a long but not wv\ stout swelling, 

 which gradually merges into the costa; fourth longitudinal vein 

 not broken.
