This species has been long known, I have seen it labelled 

 " Gotidoti," and Major Parry informs nie that in the Paris 

 collections it is called " niveor/uttata, Cliev.," but as I have been 

 unable to find a description of it, I thought it would be useful 

 to describe and figure it, and as the hrst of the names above 

 mentioned is preoccupied, I have adopted the specific appellation 

 bestowed upon it by Mons. Chevrolat.

It is not without consideraljle hesitation that I refer the 

 insect here figured to the D. nofahiliH, AVliite ; compared with 

 the type, in the Collection of the British Museum, and which is 

 the only exponent I have yet seen, the insect now under con- 

 sideration presents the following differences : it is much liroader, 

 the posterior angles of the thorax are rounded, the head is black, 

 with the sides of the clypeus and a transverse curved band at 

 the base yellow, the thoracic discoidal black patch has a longitu- 

 dinal yellow line in the centre at the base, the pygidium is 

 entirely yellow, the penultimate and apical segments of the 

 abdomen are yellow, margined with black, the remaining seg- 

 ments are black with a yellow spot on each side, and the 

 posterior femora are reddish yellow with the extreme apex and 

 base only black.
