fasciae possessed by other species. In its place there ai-e two rounded 

 spots, a larger one on the side, and a smaller one on the disc and 

 farther from the base. The sutural stripe is, however, much less in- 

 dicated in D. eques, there being only a few minute specks behind the 

 middle, and an isolated spot at the extreme apex, which is more 

 squarely-cut than in D. spectahilis, each elytron being sinuate-truncate, 

 with the sutural not much less (at least in the ^) produced than the 

 exterior angle. The head and thorax are spotted with pale tomentum, 

 and the legs coloured as in D. spectahilis. 



3. D. PATRICIUS, n. sp. — Fulvesce7iti-fiiscus, velutiniis, ahdomine 

 nigro : antennis pedihusque ohscure rufescentibus, scopis fusco-nigris : 

 elytris apice oblique truncatis, angulis exterioribus dentiformibus, supra 

 tomenio cinereo juxta suturam et apud discum snbcrebre maculafis, 

 Quaculaque majori rotunda laterali post humerum, altera paullo oiiinori 

 suturali post scutellum. Long. 8 lin., ^ . 



Hab. : Eastern Ecuador (Buckley). 



The ashy- tomentum is spread over the apical half of the elytra, 

 including the suture, in numerous small specks. The colour of the 

 elytra is a rather light coffee-brown, with a silky lustre. 



4. D. BucKLETi, n. sp. — Supra rufescenti-fuscus velutinus, elytris 



vitta suturali {guttisfuscis crenulata^ fasciaque obliqua mediana cinereis : 



antennis pedibusque rufo-castaneis, femoribus subtus abdomineque nigris, 



scopis nigro-fuscis : thorace vitta laterali, vittulis dunbus virguliformi- 



bus dorsalibus, maculaque postica marginali cinereis. 



Long. 7 — 8i lin., ^ ? . 



Hab. : Banks of the Morona, Ecuador (Buckley). 



The velvety pile of the elytra is of a rich coffee-brown colour, and 

 the ashy-white marks form a sutural vitta (irregular on its outer 

 margin and crenulated by brown specks on the suture itself), a broad 

 oblique submedian fascia, and a small spot near the apex and outside 

 the rib. 



5. D. COMES, n. sp.- — Supra tomento velutino atro-fusco vestitus, 

 elytris vitta suturali fasciaque obliqua utrinque mediana cinereis : 

 fronte cinereo; thorace atro-fusco, vitta lata dorsali alteraque utrinque 

 laterali cinereis : antennis piceis, articulis 4 — 11 apice {vel toto) ohscuri- 

 oribus, tertio scopo atro-fusco : pedibus nigris, tarsis tibiarumque apice 

 fulvis. Long. 8^ lin., (^ .
