Slightly obloTig-ovate ; tiiorax nearly as wide as the elytra 

 at the base, quite three times as wide as long. Head with 

 the tropin yellow, eyes finely granulate. Thorax more than 

 twice and a halt' times as wide as long; front angles acute; 

 sides -widening to about the middle, much rounded, not ex- 

 panded, but the extreme limb narrowly reflexed ; base not 

 margined ; the surface even and not impressed ; deep orange- 

 red, with the front and side-margins narrowly yellow; the 

 punctuation is very close and very fine. Scutellum black. 

 Elytra with four large yellow spots, two on each almost in a 

 square, but the anterior pair are scarcely separated by the 

 very narrow black edge of the suture, while the posterior ones 

 are more widely divided ; the transverse black fascia widens 

 out on the margin of the disk ; the whole lateral margin, 

 including the shoulders and aj)ex, is bordered with a deep 

 orange margin of equal width ; the whole underside, legs, and 

 mouth-organs are orange-yellow. The epiplourae are very 

 concave, but not fossulate nor expanded, and terminate before 

 the apex. 



Two examples of this very pretty species were sent. It is 

 very like D. decora, ^luls., a species from Senegal, of which
