Head rnfo-piceous. Clypeus transverse, coarsely 

 punctured, its anterior border broadly emarginate, notched 

 on eitlier side ; upper part of face and front rugose- 

 punctate, clothed with adpressed fuscous-white hairs ; 

 front impressed with a longitudinal groove ; eyes black ; 

 iintenna3 fuU^ous, six or seven outer joints fuscous. 

 Thorax nearly twice as bi'oad as long, sides serrate, 

 rounded, obliquely converging from behind the middle to 

 the apex ; above transversely convex, somewhat flattened 

 on the disk, subcylindrical at the extreme apex ; trans- 

 versely excavated before the middle, closely covered with 

 large, round, shallow punctures, and clothed with ad- 

 pressed, fuscous, scale-like hairs. Elytra broader than the 

 thorax, convex, rufo-piceous, coarsely and deeply punc- 

 tured, the puncturing arranged in strife near the suture, 

 confused on the outer disk and towards the apex ; whole 

 surface clothed with adpressed Avhite, fulvous and fuscous 

 scales, rather narrower than those in D. fasciculata, 

 Avhich form irregxdar patches over the elytra ; behind the 

 middle is an oblique fascia of black scales, and towards the 

 apex are some irregular patches of the same colour. Legs 

 piceous, thighs paler, armed beneath with an acute tooth. 



This insect may be known from D. fasciculata by the 

 broader thorax and also by the transverse fascia of black 

 scales behind the middle of the elytra.

 formibus pallide fulvis vestita, antennis fulvis; elytris
