nic to be the only two other published species to be referred to

D. leviter pubcsccns, fusco-fulva, cinereo nebulosa, ct nigro macu- 

 lata ; frontc capitis transversa ; elytris singulatiin bitnborciilatis, 

 nno basali, uno postmcdiauo.

Covered with a short thinly set pubescence, chiefly pale 

 brownish fulvous, but clouded with small j^atches (under the
