180 Mr. O. E. Jansoii's Descriptions of tv:o 



furnished on the underside with numerous spines or 

 bristles. 



Esperance Bay. Coll. Parry. 



This insect bears a general resemblance to D. nigriceps, 

 Blanch., but its larger size, liner punctuation, the depressed 

 suture of its elytra, its fringed posterior tiljiae, its large 

 swollen and thickly pubescent pygidium, and the dense 

 long ashy pubescence of its under side and femora, inde-

The only specimen I have seen of this fine insect has 

 been kindly lent to me for description by Major Parry, to 

 whom it was presented by Count de Mniszech, in whose 

 magnificent Collection is another example, both are from 

 the Collection of Count Castelnau and are males.
