240 Mr. H. W. Bates on the 
Closclj allied to tlic Euro])can D. nitidus. The an- 
tenn;\3 are Avholly rufous like the palpi. The thorax is, as 
in D. nitidus, broadest behind the middle, with a dee]) 
central furrow, and striated anterior margin. The sutural 
and second stri;e of the elytra are deepened and confluent 
on the sloping part of the extreme base. The punctures 
of the striic are visible almost to the apex. The terminal 
spine of the tibial is longer than the inner spur, and is 
strongly curved and claw-shaped.

Osaka. Four examples. Of narrow, cylindrical form. 
Front of cpistome straight, edentate : the c]iistome itself 
is smooth, but the ])late above it is obscured by transverse 
ruffie, which extend to the anterior lobes : the crown is 
suKJotli. The thorax is rather narrow, quadrate-ovate, 
with a few conspicuous strit\3 across the anterior trans- 
verse groove. The elytra are not quite cylindrical, but 
gradually and slightly narrowed to the tip ; the stria3 
are moderately impressed, and marked Avith short linear 
])unctures: in certain lights they all appear to reach the 
ai)ex, though becoming faint and retaining their punctures; 
the first and second striae dip at the base, and join the ]n-e- 
scutellar foveole ; the other stria) are obliterated before 
reaching the base.
