them when he was at school there. We also have a male col- 
lected by Col. Godwin-Austen in the Dikrang Valley ; it is inter- 
mediate in size between the two males from Kurseong. 
In the largest males there is a rudimentary tooth on the 
gently tapered distal part of the mandibles as in large specimens 
of D. antaeus, and the proximal tooth is large and conical. In the 
smallest male there is no trace of the distal tooth, and the proxi- 
mal tooth is smaller and less acute. The mandibles of the female 
resemble those of D. antaeus. The upper surface of the head is 
glossy but very finely roughened in the male, and coarsely rough- 
ened in the female. 
The outer margins of the prominent anterior angles of the 
prothorax are highly S-shaped in the large male, the concavity 
being situated behind the convexity. In the small male and both 
the females it is entire In the small but not in the large male the 
lateral and posterior parts of the marginal groove of the pronotum 
are broad and coarsely punctured. In the female this puncturing 
is still more extensive. 
The elytra are glossy in both sexes. They are smooth above 
and coarsely and closely punctured at the sides; but the punc- 
tures are almost obsolete in the large male. In the smaller, and toa 
less extent in the larger of our two females, the smooth dorsal area 
is traversed by incomplete longitudinal rows of punctures, arranged 
after the manner of the striations with which the elytra of D. 
hopet are marked. The posterior margin of the prosternal process 
is bordered by a groove, in front of which there is a distinct con- 
vexity in both sexes. The anterior tibiae are armed with about 
six teeth, the middle and posterior each with one small tooth.

The elytra of females and small males are obscurely punctured 
at the sides only. The Burmese specimen perhaps represents a 
distinct local race. It is about 54 mm. long (mandibles excluded), 
and may conceivably be the large form of D. /aevidorsis, Fairmaire.
