D. oblongus, Isete fulvescens, pilis sub-anreis supra, 

 griseis infra, vestitus ; rostro protliorace breviore, medio 

 haud carinato ; clava antennarum articulis duobus ulti- 

 mis nigris ; pro thorace latitudine haud longiore, modice 

 rotundato, antice sat fortiter constricto ; scutello rotun-

With happy scientific instinct M. Lacordaire, to whom 

 it was unknown, has placed Diapelmus immediately after 

 Acalyptus, with which it would be directly allied, accord- 

 ing to his views, owing to the non-emargination of the 

 propectus, a character not noticed by Erichson. The 

 two species here described differ from the type ( D. mendax, 

 Er.) in their more prominent eyes, and the intermediate 

 femora, as well as the posterior, being toothed, although 

 in a much less degree.
