Indo-China, Laos : Luang Prabang, Xieng Khouang 

 (R. Yitalis de Salvaza, April and May). 



Although very different in appearance, owing to the dark 

 colour of the scales with which the upper surface is clothed, 

 this species is nearly related to D. ochracea, Burm. ; and of 

 similar size and shape. It is of a very short and compact 

 form, especially in the male, the upper surface clothed with 

 very densely packed dark setae, paler at the extreme edge of 

 the pronotnm and with a few longer outstanding setse placed 

 in rows upon the posterior part of the elytra, the lower 

 surface clothed with decumbent whitish hairs. 



The male and female as usual differ considerably. The 

 pygidium is densely clothed with yellow scales in the male 

 and has less closely packed grey setae in the female. In the 

 male the legs are very stoutly formed (although the front 

 tibia is rather less massive than in that sex of D. multicolor 

 and pulchella), the middle tarsi are short and thick and the 

 hind tarsi long and slender. The club of the antenna is of 

 moderate length only.

Allied to D. ochracea, but larger and a little more elongate 

 in shape. The body is densely clothed above with bright 

 vellow scales, which are of a paler tint upon the median line 

 of the pronotnm, the scutellum, and the median part of each
