 Rostrum tenuiter cjHndricum, apice latius et crassius, arcuatum : 

 scrobes submediana3 (in D. terrea proemedianje), rectee. Scapvs 

 oculum hand attingens ; funiculus 7-articulatus, articuhs duobus 

 basalibus elongatis, vel primo solo elongato ; clava distincta. 

 Oculi tenuiter granulati. ProtJiorax transversus, postice dilatatus,

Of the three species here described, D. terrea has a shorter 

 and proportionally stouter rostrum, with the scrobes more 

 towards the apex ; the rostrum, hoAvever, is in other respects 

 essentially the same. Cydmoea has the rostrum attenuated 

 throughout, and the apex compressed when viewed sideways.
