Antmat large, broad oval, surrounded by a broad ruffle, somewhat

Foot pale poppy-red, larger than the body; ruffle roseate beneath, 
the intervening space mottled as above with straw-colour and sangui- 
neous, more minutely than above, as are also the head lobes of the 
ruffle. Head small, circular, rose-red, as are also the cervical expan- 
sions, which are obversely heart-shaped or two-lobed, the anterior one 
smallest. 
Length six inches; breadth four and a half inches. 
Obtained at Honolulu, Sandwich Islands. 
Above, this is much like D. Sandvichensis, but the branchie are diffe- 
rent, the cervical lobes are many-lobed, and it is not mottled beneath. 
It is intermediate between D. sumptuosa, aud D. superba.
