and pronotiim rather closely clothed with short erect tufts 

 of brown setae. Elongate, parallel-sided, depressed, with short 

 legs and antemise. The eye almost completely divided by 

 the rounded canthus. The sides of the pronotum not toothed, 

 strongly rounded behind. The elytra each bear five longitu- 

 dinal lines composed of tufts of erect setae, the tufts upon the 

 anterior half longer than those of the posterior half, and the 

 shoulders are blunt. The prosternum elevated and angular 

 behind but not produced. The metasternum finely and closely 

 punctured in the middle, densely granular at the sides, tlic 

 abdomen strongly punctured beneath. 



$. The head bears a jjair of very small shining tubercles, 

 not far apart, between the eyes. The mandibles are narrow 

 and almost straight, with a small sliarp internal tooth, and 

 the clypeal process is rounded and very small. The front 

 tibia is narrow, with a broad extremity, a blunt tooth on the 

 upper surface and three short terminal teeth. The middle 

 tibia has a minute lateral spine and the hind tibia is unarmed. 



(^. The head is short and broad, the cXj^edl process very 

 broad, short and straight. The mandibles are short, rounded, 

 far apart at the base, where they are angulate externally, 

 and armed internally with a small quadrate tooth placed 

 obliquely, a little before the tip. The front iihia bears minute 

 lateral teeth and the terminal fork is short. The middle 

 and hind tibiae are setose and without lateral spines.

Tliis is a rather shorter and broader insect than D. velutinns 

 and the longitudinal lines formed by erect setae are not con- 

 tinuous upon the anterior half of tlie elytra but broken up into 

 short tufts. In addition, the mandible of the male, instead 

 of a gradual dilatation of the inner edge, as in velutinus, has 

 an abrupt and very blunt tooth a little before the end. Full- 

 sized males have the prothorax very broad and the outer 

 edges not parallel l)ut diverging forwards.
