Elongate. Upper side pale yellow; apical areas and those 
adjoining frequently margined with fuscous; costa yellowish 
white; interocellar line represented by two or four black or fuscous 
spots. Crown in the male as long, in the female a little longer, 
than its width at the base, about one-third longer in the middle 
than at the sides, free sides distinctly arcuate, angle blunt. Frons 
black or brown, with a few curved transverse whitish lines down 
each side; infraocellar line represented by a black V near the 
middle of the forehead, the ends of which sometimes merge into 
the ground colour of the frons. Pronotum very little shorter than 
the crown. Elytra subpellucid, a little longer than the abdomen 
in the male, a little shorter in the female, widely rounded at the 
apex; nerves yellow. Legs pale yellow, striped, spotted, and 
banded with black. g; abdomen black, sides and apex yellow; 
genital plates yellow, basal half black, long, triangular, separately 
rounded at the apex, their inner margin rather more than twice as 
long as the valve; on the basal two-thirds of each a longitudinal 
impressed line. 9; abdomen coloured as in D. strifrons; hind 
margin of the last ventral segment gently concave, with a deep 
angular notch in the middle. Length, 3—3} mm. 
Very common amongst grasses in damp places. 
Judging from a type received from Dr. Puton, this is 
clearly D. Minki, Fieb., and if we imagine the processes 
of the lower margins of the male pygofer to be half 
sagittate at the apex instead of simple, Fieber’s figure 
(l.c., fig. 45, e) would well represent that portion of our 
insect. I have taken both sexes on July 2nd, and 
immature examples and nymphs as late as Sept. 30th.
