produced into a slightly curved lateral spine, antenne with 
the third and fourth joints very rugose, and with long 
erect hairs ; pronotum, disc black, shining, punctured, with 
three elevated longitudinal carinz, each when viewed late- 
rally with a row of large meshes, central one terminating in 
an elevated somewhat globular areolated vesicle, the front 
margin of which forms the anterior margin of the pronotum ;

front, with three to five rows of meshes ; base angularly

D. strichnocera, Ficb.—Like the preceding at first 
glance, but abundantly distinct in many points. The head 
bears two short flavous carine, one just behind each eye on 
its inner side, the antenniferous tubercles are blunt, and 
there are two pale frontal spines, not convergent, the third 
joint of the antennz is much thicker than in crassicornis, 
but the hairs are adpressed and very short, the apical joint 
is much thinner than the third; the pronotum is paler in 
colour in the ¢?, being almost white posteriorly, the sides 
are less widened in front and more rounded, with two to 
three rows of meshes, the hood of the anterior margin 
smaller and less globular; the elytra are very similar to 
those of crassicornis, but the nerves are paler in the ¢, 
and the reticulation less regular in both sexes. 
L. 35 mm. 
On broom and furze, common in many places, and gene-
