 have seen others from Assam. 



The thorax varies in colour, as usual in this genus, from brassy-green to 

 coppery. The hind angles are generally rectangular, with slightly sinuated 

 lateral margin near the angle, but sometimes they are a little more obtuse. 

 The elytra are pale testaceous, with a brassy-green tinge, the strise 

 punctured, and the interstices 1, 4, and 6, only, convex.

 The example described and figured by Lucas of this species is a small 

 male of minor development ; and Pascoe's description implies that he had 

 not before him the full development of the male of the species. In a small 

 series, taken by Mr. Pratt, there are, besides minor males similar to the 

 figure of Lucas, specimens of full development, which show that the species 

 differs from both D. wallichii and D. howringii, not only by the black tarsi 

 and polished vittse (not caringe) of the thorax, but by the greater length of 

 the clypeal horns, and especially the far greater length and stronger vertical 

 curvature from the lateral tooth to the bifid apex, in which latter the inner 

 cusp is very much smaller, and situated lower down than the outer. The 

 thorax approaches more nearly a cu-cular figure than in the two other 

 species. The colour of the upper surface is ashy-white. The female differs 

 from the male (besides the secondary sexual characters) in colour, being 

 wholly dull black, nearly opaque, and with naked integument, very minutely 

 strigulose on the elytra and punctulate on the thorax, which is also sprinkled 

 with larger punctures. The elytra have a glossy humeral and apical callus, 

 strongly punctured. The thorax has scarcely any trace of dorsal raised vittat. 

 The head is of nearly the same form as in D, ■wallichii, J .
