1921.] H. E. Andrewes: Fauna of Barkitda 1 . 343 



Prothorax transverse (i'9X2"5 mill.), moderately convex, 

 widest rather before middle, base rather wider than apex, sides 

 gently rounded, not sinuate behind, hind angles obtuse, basal 

 foveae moderately deep, surface faintly laterally strigose, finely 

 and sparsely punctate, ba-e closely' punctate, with some minute 

 longitudinal striae in the middle. 



Elytra (2'9 X 4'5 mill.) rather flat, elongate, sides parallel, 

 base strongly bisinuate, border forming a well-marked angle on 

 shoulder, sides rather deeply emarginate before apex, striae clearly 

 cut but not deep, impunctate, not becoming deeper near apex, 

 scutellary striole very short, arising from an umbilicate pore, 

 intervals flat, even ones much narrower than odd ones towards 

 apex, 3, 5, and 7 seriate-punctate, the punctures rather large and 

 conspicuous, 5 depressed near apex, marginal series interrupted in 

 middle, surface finely punctate. 



Rather larger than D. nagpurensis Bates and a little brighter 

 in colour, femora testaceous, head finely punctured, base of 

 prothorax much more finely punctate, elytra longer, more sharply 

 angled at shoulder, alternate intervals similarly narrowed at apex, 

 but flatter, serial pores larger. The species is also closely allied 

 to D. indocliinensis Bates, from Indo-China and Burma, tmt the 

 colour of this latter species is a little cupreous, the elytra are 

 much shorter and wider, and the serial pores even larger than in 

 D. chinnada.
