 cavities close to frontal suture is a black longitudinal mark ; 

 tegmina hyaline, greyish or dirty-white, with delicate white veins ; 

 wings hyaline ; pectus and abdomen black ; margins of segments 

 very narrowly yellow ; legs greenish-yellow." 



" D. intennedius is very similar to D. porticus and D. bimacu- 

 latus. In all three species the black longitudinal mark is present 

 at the antennal cavities ; in D. poHkus there is on the middle of 

 vertex a triangular black spot, while on D. bimacidatus, which is 

 smaller than the two other species, there are two transverse black 

 streaks on the vertex between the front angles of the eyes ; in 

 JD. intenuedius the underside, with the exception of the legs, is 

 black, in D. 2^orticus and D. bimaculatus yellow, and only the 

 dorsum black." (Melichar.)
