the under side with scattered yellowish hairs. Hind tibiae at the 

 tip, to a considerable extent, black ; on the hind side with a gla- 

 brous streak, which reaches from the basis up to the tip. Fore 

 and middle tarsi blackened from the tip of the first joint ; hind 

 tarsi altogether black. Cilia of the tegulse black. Wings with a 

 rather dark-gray tinge, and with black veins ; the costa has, at the 

 tip of the first longitudinal vein, a very short knot-like swelling ; 

 the fourth longitudinal vein is not broken. 



Female. The plastic characters, which distinguish the male 

 are wanting here, otherwise it resembles the male very much. 

 The antennas are considerably shorter and their last joint is much 

 smaller. The face is very much broader, grayish-white, with but 

 little admixture of yellowish.

Observation. The male cannot be mistaken for any other 

 species. The female differs from that of D. comatus by its more 

 considerable size, darker wings, and the absence of a dark tip on 

 the hind femora. It cannot be mistaken for the as yet unknown 

 female of D. chrysostomus, on account of the extended b-nck 

 color of the tip of its hind tibiae. All the other species, with the 

 females of which it could be confounded, have the .antennae not 

 entirely black.
