Easily distinguislied from all the other Bi'itish species by the 

 solitaiy brown spot on the elytra. 



The only specimens I have seen are those referred to by the 

 Rev. T. A. Marshall, taken at Milford Haven. 



Section B. 

 Ocellated species. 



More or less lurid yellow. Elytra about as long as the abdomen, 

 nerves very pale yellowish-white or white ; anterior marginal nerve at 

 the apex of the costal area and the ante-apical area with a brown 

 margin. 



Head — croicn with a short, oblique, black streak on each side of the apex, and a 

 more or less distinct reddish or orange triangular patch near the anterior margin 

 of the eyes. Face more or less dark brown, with six to eight transverse yellow 

 lines on each side, frequently appearing only as commas next the middle. 

 Cheeks and lorce yellow, the latter margined with brown. 



Thorax — pronotum brownish-yellow. Scutellum yellowish-white. Elytra about as 

 long as the abdomen, pale lurid yellow ; nerves very pale yellowish-white or 

 white ; marginal nerve at the apex of the costal area and the ante-apical area 

 with a brown margin ; nerves of the apical areas margined with brown, broadest 

 exteriorly ; discoidal and ante-apical areas narrowly and irregularly margined 

 with brown, in some instances obsolete. Leys pale yellow. Thiyhs: Ist pair 

 generally black at the base, and with a half-band or two spots of the same color 

 in the middle ; 3rd pair with a black streak along the upper margin. Tibice : 

 3rd pair with a black longitudinal line interiorly j apoi black. Tarsi : 3rd pair 

 black ; Ist joint basal half yellow. Length, IJ line. 



11. Falleni, Fieb. 



I can perceive no difference between this species and D. paleaceus, 

 J. 8ahlberg, judging from the insects sent to that author for de- 

 termination, and returned by him with the above names attached ; 

 as on examination the genitalia in both cases Avcre identical, and 

 agree admirably with Fieber's ligures in the Verb. z.-b. Ges. Wien, 

 xix, 210, 24.
