D. picipes, KL, which I have not seen, says : " Similar but darker, 

 more dully coloured and somewhat more thickly tomentose, the sides 

 of the prothorax are not curved at the basal angle, and the alternate 

 intervals of the elytra are more raised than the others." 



Gen. AMBLYSTOMUS, 

 Catal., p. 466. 



Amblystomus intermedius. 



Dark bronze green, nearly black on the upper part, antennae black 

 with the basal joint and the tibiae pale flavous ; head smooth ; 

 prothorax much rounded laterally from apex to base, more ampliated 

 in the anterior than in the median part, basal angle rounded ; median 

 discoidal longitudinal line hardly distinct ; elytra a little broader 

 at base than the prothorax at its widest part, nearly oblong, but a 

 little wider past the middle than at the base, and having on each 

 side five very fine but distinct striae ; the lateral ones are obliterated 

 except at the apex ; the intervals are plane and smooth ; the femora 

 are infuscate, the tibiae and tarsi flavescent. Length 4 mm. ; width 

 14 mm. 



This species is intermediate between A. promontorii and P. 

 natalicus, Catal., p. 467 ; the head and the prothorax are not so 

 broad as in the former, while it is larger than the second, and the 

 elytra are more distinctly striate.

Black, sub-opaque ; head very rugose but with a median smooth

 third joint of antennae not quite as long as the following two put 

 together; prothorax rounded laterally from the apex to two-thirds 

 of the length, gradually ampliate to that distance, and produced 

 diagonally from there to the basal part where it is not wider than
