General colour dark brown, almost black. Thorax smooth and shining, as if polished, and tenni- 

 nating in a strong thick horn, which inclines forward in a curved position, and is forked at the end. 

 From the head also springs another strong horn, forked at the extremity, which in length corresponds 

 with the first ; its outer side being broad and round, but its inner side, or that opposite the other horn, 

 is thin and sharp, having a small swelling in the mickUe. Elytra smooth and shining, with a narrow 

 margin. Anterior tibias with four teeth ; two being at the tip, and two a little above them. The other 

 tibiae are furnished with several sharp spines (five or six), chiefly about the tips ; which, as noticed in 

 D. Titanus, assist the animal in its passage. Anus not hairy, as in many other species.
