This species has been long known, I have seen it labelled 

 " Goudoti," and Major Parry informs me that in the Paris 

 collections it is called " niveoguttata, Chev.," but as I have been 

 unable to find a description of it, I thought it would be useful 

 to describe and figure it, and as the first of the names above 

 mentioned is preoccupied, I have adopted the specific appellation 

 bestowed upon it by Mons. Chevrolat.

It is not without considerable hesitation that I refer the 

 insect here figured to the D. nutahilis, White ; compared with 

 the type, in the Collection of the British Museum, and Avhich is 

 the only exponent I have yet seen, the insect now under con- 

 sideration presents the following differences : it is much broader, 

 the posterior angles of the thorax are rounded, the head is black, 

 with the sides of the clypeus and a transverse curved band at 

 the base yellow, the thoracic discoidal black patch has a longitu- 

 dinal yellow line in the centre at the base, the pygidium is 

 entirely yellow, the penultimate and apical segments of the 

 abdomen are yellow, margined with black, the remaining seg- 

 ments are black with ' a yellow spot on each side, and the 

 posterior femoi'a are reddish yellow with the extreme apex and 

 base only black.
