Hab. Ladakh. JFound also near Samarkand and Kodjend. I have compared the 

 numerous examples in Stoliczka's collection with a specimen received from Russia, as taken 

 in " Turkestan," and find no essential difference : the Turkestan specimen has a rather 

 broader thorax, but otherwise of the same shape, so distinct from that of the following species 

 which is subcordate with prominent and acute hinder angles.

Sab. Sind Valley. A much damaged example, which I refer doubtfully to this species 

 as a small variety. It is 6| lines long and of narrow cylindrical form, and the elytra! 

 striae, although fine and with perfectly plane interstices, are more strongly impressed 

 than in striolatus. The species occurs in the basin of the Caspian, and was taken near Tash- 

 kend by Fedchenko.

Long. 2^ lin. 



Agrees with D. amplipennia (China), D. tenuimanus (Japan), D. discicollis, Dej., and 

 others in its acuminate palpi, in which these eastern species differ from their West European
