  Antennas 
  elongate, 
  penultimate

  much 
  longer 
  than 
  

   broad. 
  Head 
  elongate, 
  very 
  densely 
  and 
  coarsely 
  punctured, 
  

   not 
  quite 
  dull. 
  Thorax 
  oblong, 
  very 
  coarsely 
  and

   punctured, 
  a 
  little 
  shining. 
  Elytra 
  as 
  long 
  as

   rufescent, 
  darker 
  at

  densely

  Male 
  with 
  the

  of 
  last 
  

   ventral 
  segment 
  sinuate-emarginate 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  with 
  a 
  

   rather 
  small 
  excision 
  ; 
  in 
  front 
  of

  a

  depression 
  

   densely 
  set 
  with

  asperities 
  ; 
  the 
  preceding 
  segment 
  

   very 
  slightly 
  impressed. 
  

  

  This 
  fine 
  insect 
  is 
  larger 
  than 
  D. 
  crassicornis 
  and 
  readily 
  

   distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  long 
  antennae 
  and

  head 
  ;

  the 
  hind

  the 
  

   male 
  is 
  peculiar.

  The 
  male 
  has 
  a 
  large 
  sharply 
  defined 
  excision 
  of 
  the 
  last 
  

   ventral 
  segment 
  and 
  in 
  front 
  of 
  this 
  a 
  rather 
  broad 
  depression 
  

   studded 
  with 
  fine 
  black 
  asperities 
  ; 
  the 
  preceding 
  segment 
  

   bears 
  a 
  slight 
  but 
  broad 
  depression.

  Domene 
  orbiculata, 
  n. 
  sp. 
  

  

  Latiuscula, 
  fusca 
  ; 
  capite 
  thoraceque 
  nigricantibus 
  ; 
  antennis 
  rufis, 
  

   pedibus 
  testaceis 
  ; 
  elytris 
  thorace 
  multo 
  brevioribus, 
  fusco-aaneis 
  ; 
  

   capite 
  thoraceque 
  densissime

  sculpturatis,

  orbicu- 
  

   lato.

  10 
  millim. 
  

  

  This 
  is 
  readily 
  distinguished 
  from 
  D. 
  curtipennis 
  by 
  the 
  

   broader 
  form 
  and 
  the 
  denser 
  finer 
  sculpture 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  and 
  

   thorax 
  ; 
  the 
  antennae 
  are 
  much 
  larger, 
  being 
  both 
  longer 
  and 
  

   thicker.
