  Female 
  : 
  Like 
  the 
  male, 
  the 
  prothorax 
  is 
  less 
  densely 
  villose, 
  and 
  

   less 
  squamose 
  along 
  the 
  base, 
  but 
  the 
  vestiture 
  of 
  the 
  elytra 
  and 
  

   underneath 
  is 
  similar 
  to 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  male.

  Male 
  : 
  Shape 
  and 
  vestiture 
  of 
  D. 
  sulcicollis, 
  of 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  

   close 
  ally, 
  but 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  clypeus 
  is 
  different 
  owing 
  to 
  the 
  

   lateral 
  tooth 
  and 
  the 
  angles 
  of 
  the 
  apical 
  part 
  not 
  being 
  reflexed 
  and 
  

   hardly 
  prominent 
  ; 
  the 
  median 
  groove 
  of 
  the 
  prothorax 
  is 
  not 
  so 
  

   deep, 
  and 
  the 
  pubescence 
  is 
  shorter 
  ; 
  the 
  scales 
  are 
  not 
  so 
  golden 
  

   yellow, 
  and 
  those 
  on 
  the 
  scutellum 
  and 
  the 
  median 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  

   discoidal 
  band, 
  and 
  also 
  on 
  the 
  post-scutellary 
  patch, 
  are 
  slightly 
  

   whitish. 
  

  

  Female 
  : 
  Shaped 
  like 
  the 
  male, 
  but 
  the 
  prothorax 
  is 
  covered 
  with 
  

   a 
  densely 
  dark 
  pubescence 
  turning 
  to 
  bright 
  fulvous 
  on 
  the 
  sides, 
  and 
  

   the 
  furrow 
  is 
  filled 
  with 
  a 
  narrow, 
  similar 
  band 
  ; 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  

   covered 
  with 
  a 
  chocolate 
  tomentum, 
  and 
  the 
  bands 
  of 
  scales 
  and 
  

   also 
  the 
  post-scutellary 
  patch 
  are 
  very 
  slender. 
  I 
  am 
  not 
  quite 
  sure, 
  

   however, 
  that 
  the 
  insect 
  thus 
  described 
  is 
  the 
  female 
  of 
  D. 
  pulchcr. 
  

   The 
  clypeus 
  is 
  hardly 
  angular 
  at 
  the 
  tip.

  Male 
  : 
  Almost 
  similar 
  to 
  D. 
  pulclier, 
  but 
  a 
  little 
  shorter 
  ; 
  the 
  apical 
  

   angles 
  of 
  the 
  clypeus 
  are 
  distinctly 
  rounded, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  lateral 
  

   prominence 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  ; 
  the 
  prothorax 
  is 
  briefly 
  villose, 
  and 
  has 
  

   a 
  similar 
  basal 
  lateral 
  patch 
  of 
  squamose 
  flavescent 
  hairs 
  and 
  a 
  fine 
  

   line 
  of 
  yellow 
  scales 
  filling 
  also 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  median 
  groove 
  ; 
  the 
  elytra 
  

   have 
  only 
  two 
  bands 
  of 
  bright 
  yellow 
  scales 
  uniting 
  in 
  the 
  median 
  

   part 
  and 
  the 
  sutural 
  patch, 
  the 
  scales 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  whitish, 
  is 
  connected 
  

   with 
  the 
  scaly 
  apical
