 dentato-angulatis pone medium leviter sinuatis, angulis 

 posticis subrectis ; scutello subtiliter punctulato ; elytris 

 confertim subtiliter aspere punctulatis, vix manifeste cos- 

 tulatis ; tibiis anticis extus antice bidentatis. 

 Maris clypeo sat producto, quadrato, angulatim emarginato. 

 Feminse clypeo minus fortiter minus angulatim emarginato ; 

 elytris ad apicem baud mucronatis. Long., 2i 1.; lat. 1| 1. 

 Closely allied to D. ijuhescens, Macl., but easily distin- 

 guishable by its smaller and punctulate scutellum, and by the 

 non-mucronate apex of the elytra in the female. This species 

 is confused in the Macleay collection with ]J. pubescens, Macl., 

 but it is the one of the two that does not agree with Macleay's 

 description of pubescens.
