It is probable, that this species must eventually be placed in 

 a special genus, if the antenna^ only are taken into considera- 

 tion ; their structure is certainly totally different from Dorydea, 

 at least in the male insect, and that is the only sex I have 

 before me ; all other characters agree with Dorydea; had the 

 palpi been more strongly incrassate as in Aenidea that genus 

 would have been a better place for the present species, but the 

 last named genus is not well defined at present and contains 

 already several species which ought to find another place. Be 

 this as it may, D. indica will be at once recognized by the 

 curious distorted apical joints of the antennae ; the elytra are 

 either fulvous, or reddish with a purplish tint or entirely blue.
