antennae stout, the scape long, extending beyond the top of the 

 head ; anteimal carinaD short, wide apart, parallel ; eyes posterior 

 to the transverse middle line of the head. Thorax coarsely 

 crihrately punctured, rugose ; the pronotum rounded above, slightly 

 convex ; the meso-metanotal suture distinct ; the mesonotum from 

 above circular, raised slightly above the pronotum, slightly convex, 

 not sulcate ; meso-metanotal emargination deep, the basal portion 

 of the metanotum longer than the truncate apical portion, 

 convex, not flat, the apical portion vertical, flat, not concave ; legs 

 long and rather slight, pubescent and sparsely pilose. Node of 

 the pedicel flat, broader than long; abdomen short and broad, 

 globose, very convex above.

Ifab. Upper Burma at elevations above 4000 ft. (BingJiam). 



I found this pretty species not uncommon at Taunggyi, Southern 

 Shan States, and in the Ruby Mines district. It had the charac- 

 teristic pleasant scent given out by many of the species of the 

 genus.

. Head with the antenna) and abdomen brownish ; thorax 

 and legs bright yellow. Head, thorax and abdomen covered with 

 a thin sericeous silvery pubescence, which is somewhat dense on 

 the abdomen above ; pilosity entirely wanting. Head similar in 

 shape to that of D. sulcaticeps, but proportionately longer and not 

 so broad posteriorly, finely and closely reticulate punctate ; a long 

 longitudinally impressed line from the vertex to between the eyes, 

 the latter placed lower down on the sides of the head than in 

 D. sulcaticeps mandibles broadly triangular, finely and closely 

 punctured, opaque ; clypeus convex, anteriorly transverse. Thorax 

 laterally compressed, irregularly and somewhat coarsely punctured ; 

 pronotum above flat, slightly concave, margined anteriorly and on 

 the sides ; mesonotum longitudinally sulcate ; metanotum viewed 

 from the side subtriangnlar, the meso-metanotal emargination 

 deep, the basal portion flat, slightly concave above, sulcate poste- 

 riorly, the apical portion concave, with a very distinct curve 

 inwards. Node of the pedicel laminate, somewhat thick and very 

 slightly convex anteriorly ; abdomen oval, proportionately much 

 longer than in D. sulcaticeps.
