transverse on neck, two supraorbital pores, labrum small, 

 moderately eniarginate (for the genus), clypeus deeply 

 eiuarginate, exposing basal membrane of labrum. 



Prolhorax a little transverse (5*75 X 70 mm.), contracted 

 much more in front than l)ehind, base bisinuate -with oblique 

 sides, apex emar<2;inate, sides evenly rounded, not sinuate 

 behind, A,vith a well-marked border, slightly reflexed, increas- 

 ing in thickness from apex to base, hind angles obtuse and a 

 little rounded, basal foveae obsolescent behind, but forming 

 in front two deep punctures, at some distance from base, 

 surface covered with faint transverse striae, longitudinal 

 along middle of base and apex ; lobes of mentnm rounded at 

 apex, a pair of setaj at the middle of the emargination, a 

 distinct sinus between the apex of ligula and the i)ara<ilossrc, 

 right mandible with a strong tooth at middle, left one 

 edentate. 



Elytra (lO'Ox 15'0 ram.) rather flat, very slightly dilated 

 behind, border rounded at shoulder but not crenulate, striae 

 fine but sharply incised, with numerous fine but distinct 

 punctures, a well-marked scutellary striole, intervals slightly 

 convex, faintly shiny along median line, 9 and marginal 

 channel finely rugose. 



Underside nearly smooth, metepisterna finely rugose- 

 pnnctate, sides of venter finely strigose. On the last seg- 

 ment in the c? there are two setre on each side close together ; 

 in the ? there are three on each side, two close together 

 (as in cJ ), and a third near apex (in one of the three ? ? 

 there are four setae on each side). 



Allied to D. zeelandica, lledt., but slightly larger. Head 

 with thicker antennae; prothorax wider, much more con- 

 tracted in front, sides without trace of sinuation behind, 

 border thicker behind, basal fovea) similar but deeper ; elytra 

 witli much finer and more clearly punctured striae, intervals 

 fiatter, border rounded at shoulder.
