The pronotum has a comb of thirty-one spines and bears two rows of bristles. 

 The mesoplenra have 20 (21) bristles, the metepiinenim bears 17 (IS), the basal ab- 

 ilominal sternite 8 (6), and the eighth sternite 36 (38). Tiiere are four combs on the 

 abdomen on sefjments II to V, the numbers of teeth being 7, 8, 8, 8 (7, 9, 10, 5). 

 The seventh tergite bears a row of eighteen long bristles, and only eleven

additional bristles in front of the row on the two sides together, the numbers on 

 the seventh sternite being eight and twenty-four respectively. 



The apical ventral angle of the eighth sternite is less rounded than in 

 l>. li/pxsus, but more so than in D. apistus, and the two long bristles placed near 

 this angle are farther apart from each other than in the allied species. The 

 ninth sternite bears an apical row of eight bristles, of which two or three are 

 long, then follow two moderately long bristles and farther proximally a row of four 

 or five bristles. 



Length (mounted specimen) 3-6 mm.

The frons is short and ventrally very broad, the head agreeing best with that 

 of D. /tempi. The distance between the tip of the lowest genal spine and the 

 frontal oral corner is larger than {S) "r as large as (?) that between the frontal 

 oral corner and the vestigial frontal tubercle. Tliis tubercle is placed below the 

 centre of the frons in both sexes. The eighth sternite of the S is strongly rounded 

 off apically, and the two bristles placed near its ventral apical corner (which is quite 

 effaced) are quite close together.
