This is a species closely allied to D. rubiginosus, and differing 

 principally by the absence of the three pale fasciae to the sternum, 

 the posterior margin of the metasternum being alone strami- 

 neous ; the variation is also on similar lines with that found in 

 D. ruhiginosus. 



Length 11 to 15; breadth between pronotal angles 3 to 

 5 millim.
