the latter clothed with adpressed scales, which, radiating from the 

 centre, are spread equally over the whole surface. Elytra stained 

 with irregular obscure rufous patches, coarsely striate-punctate,

 thickened and strongly elevated, especially on the sides^ towards 

 the apex they form longitudinal costae ; they are clothed with 

 adpressed white scales, scattered irregularly on the surface, and 

 forming here and there large ill-defined patches. 



This species may at once be known from D. serraticoUis by the 

 absence of the erect setae on the surface of the elytra.

 § Elytra furnished with numerous short erect setce.
