miilway between the anterior margin and tlie basal constriction, 

 the forehead elevated and with a \evy deep centi*al furrow. 

 liostnim separated from the head by a deep continuous curved 

 furrow, the sides parallel iu the basal half, the geiiie angularly 

 dilated, the upper surface longitudinally impressed, with a deep 

 central furrow and a shallow one on each side of it. Antennce 

 with dense pale scaling, the scape not reaching the eye, the 

 funicle with joint 2 slightly longer than 1, the remainder trans- 

 verse and subequal, the club dark, the first joint squamose at the 

 base and much longer than the second. Prothorax slightly broader 

 than long, broadest at the base, and very gradually narrowed from 

 there to the apex, the apical margin rather oblique at the sides, 

 the upper surface transversely rugose, with a very deep central 

 furrow which does not quite reach the base or apex, and contains 

 a bare carina, and another broad furrow on each side of it. 

 Elytra separately rounded at the base, the shoulders broad and 

 prominent, the sides subparallel, the strije deep, with large punctures 

 which are partially concealed by the very dense scaling, the in- 

 tervals broad and convex, 4 and 5 with two large subquadrate 

 bare and coarsely foveate patches, one before middle and the 

 other on the declivity, interval 3 rather broader than 4 at the 

 base, but narrower than it on the declivity, the setse very short, 

 thick, sparse and depressed. Legs stout, with dense scaling, 

 the tarsi broad, the second joint of the hind pair strongly 

 transverse, the corbels of the hind tibije densely squamose 

 internally.

Colour black, with dense brown scaling, turning to pale fawn, 

 greyish or whitish on the sides, uuderparts and apex, the upper 

 surface of the elytra usually variegated with similar pale markings, 

 especially across the top of the declivity. 



Head evidently constricted and transversely impressed at the 

 base, the eyes placed close to the anterior margin, the forehead 

 with a deep central furrow. Rostrum separated from the head by 

 a narrow transverse furrow, the sides parallel at the base, the 

 genae sharply angulated, the upper surface shallowly impressed 

 and with a deep central furrow. Antennce with dense pale scaling, 

 the scape not reaching the eye, the funicle with joint 1 slightly 

 shorter than 2, 3-7 subequal and transverse, 4 rather longer, the 

 club black, with joint 1 longer than 2. Prothorax as long as 

 broad, widest at the base and gradually narrowing to the apex, 

 transversely rugose, with a distinct central furrow varying iu 

 length and deptii, and a similarly variable furrow on each side of 

 it. Elytra similar to those of D. quadrisignatus, but without any
