DlCOMADA. 



Rostrum tenuiter cjlindricum, apice latins et crassius, arcuatum : 

 scrobes submedianse (in D. terrea praemediana)), recta?. Scapns 

 oculum hand attingens ; funiculus 7-articulatu8, articulis duobus 

 basalibus elongatis, vel primo solo elongate ; dava distincta. 

 Oculi tenuiter granulati. Protliorax transversus, postice dilatatus, 

 basi rotundatus, vel parum bisinuatus, lobis ocidaribiis nullis. 

 Elytra subcordiformia, leviter convexa ; prothoraee paulo latiora. 

 Pectus breviusculum. Coxxe intermediae sat remotse ; femora in- 

 crassata, mutica ; tihicp, flexuosae, apice mucronatte ; tarsi lati, 

 articulo quarto breviusculo. Abdomen segmcntis duobus basaHbus 

 ampliatis, tribus intermediis ad latera arcuatis. 



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

 and proportionally stouter rostrum, with the scrobes more 

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

 essentially the same. Cydmcea has the rostrum attenuated 

 throughout, and the apex compressed when viewed sideways.
