Va7\ Head and thorax fulvous. 



Length 7 millim. 



Head scarcely perceptibly punctured, with a slight greenish 

 tint ; antennae black, the basal joint flavous below, terminal joints 

 gradually widened, the last joint more elongate ; thorax with 

 straight sides, the anterior angles pointed, the surface very finely 

 and spai'ingly punctui'ed ; scutellum blackish, elongate ; elytra 

 wider at the base than the thorax, finely and very regularly 

 punctate-striate, flavous, the suture (to the extent of the third 

 row) and the last marginal interstice black ; undei'side and legs 

 black, claw- joint simple, prosternum tuberculiform and raised 

 anteriorly, metasternum also raised and ti'uncate in front. 



Hab. Marcapata, Peru. 



The elytral punctures are extremely closely placed, and the 

 sutural band is rather abi'uptly ti'uncate immediately below the 

 base and greatly nai-rowed round the .scutellum, gi'adually so 

 towai'ds the apex ; the marginal stripe does not quite touch the 

 sutui'al one at the apex, and extends to the base but not to the 

 basal margin. Three specimens are contained in my collection, 

 one of which has the head and thorax fulvous.

jEneous, the labrum flavous, the antennse and tarsi dark 

 fulvous ; thorax with the anterior margin and two oblique stripes 

 flavous ; elytra strongly punctured anteriorly, flavous, the base 

 with a broad tranverse seneous band, including a flavous spot. 



Length 12 millim. 



Head seneous, with a few fine punctures ; labrrnn flavous, palpi 

 and antennse fulvous, the latter with strongly-dilated terminal 

 joints ; thoi'ax with the lateral margins straight, the disc very 

 sparingly pvinctured, greenish seneous, this colour divided into 

 thi'ee spots by two oblique narrow flavous stripes which join the 

 similarly-coloured anterior margin, the darker portions ai-e in the 

 shape of a subquadi-ate spot at each side and a larger -—--shaped 

 spot at the middle ; elytra slightly wider at the base than the 

 thorax, strongly punctate-striate at the base, moi'e finely so and 

 irregularly at the lower poition, flavous, the extreme sutural 

 margins and a broad transverse band at the base, not extending 

 to the lateral margins and including a flavous spot near the scu- 

 tellum, greenish aeneous ; elytral epipleurje flavous ; underside 

 seneous, legs fulvous, prosternum truncate and raised anteriorly. 



Sab. Rio Janeiro, Brazil ? 



The thorax in colour and pattern agrees with that of D. par- 

 tita St., but the sculpturing and markings of the elytra are 

 difi'erent, the markings somewhat resembling those of D.fenes- 

 trata St.
