130 LUCANID^. 



The elytra are long and narrow, witli the surface finely eoria- 

 ceous, except in the inner part, where they an> minutely and 

 closely punctured. The sides are feebly rounded and the 

 shoulders acutely spinose. The legs are very slender, the front 

 tibia strongly produced beyond the point of insertion of the 

 tarsus, the middle and hind tibiae with close yellow fringes at 

 the inner edge, the former bearing a fine lateral spine, the 

 latter with none or only a vestige. The tarsi are very long 

 and clothed with long yellow hairs beneath. 



Variation of the, male. In a very small specimen in tlie Genoa 

 Museum the head and ])ronotum are finely, not closely, 

 punctured and the mandibles flat, simple at the tip and serrate 

 at the inner edge. In larger examjiles the entire upper surface 

 is dull and finely granular and the mandibles are slender, 

 not flat, and bifid at the tip. One of moderate size in the 

 British Museum has numerous short teeth at irregular intervals 

 along the mandible and a small double tooth near the base. 

 The large male type in the Genoa Museum has a single basal 

 tooth and three similar ones only in the outer half of the 

 mandible.

Type in the Genoa Museum ; co-type in the British Museum. 

 The female closely resembles that of D. cilipes Th., but the 

 pronotum and elytra are smoother and the sides of the former 

 less broadly punctured.

Black or very dark chocolate-brown, the tarsi clothed with 

 rather long yellow hairs beneath. Katlier elongate and not 

 very conv(\x, the up})er surface opaque or dull in the male, 

 feebly shining in the female. The prosternum ju'ominent 

 behind, but rounded and little comj)ressed. The three joints 

 of the antennal club short and the seventh joint strongly 

 and sharply produced. The middle and hind tibia; have each 

 a sharp lateral spine. 



$. Black, with the upper surface feebly shining. The head 

 is rugosely i)im(!tured, the canthus almost dividing the eye 

 and slightly ])rominent laterally. The pronotum is very 

 minutely and sparsely ])unctured in the middle and very 

 coarsely and closely at the sides. The front angles are ])rodueed, 

 the sides feebly rounded to the sharp lateral angle and almost 

 straight to the base. The elytra are entirely j)unctured, 

 ?ninutely in the iimer anterior region, strongly and closely
