Very closely allied to Apod, scutellaris , Gyll., Sch., but much 
smaller, especially much shorter in the anterior parts; the $ having 
these parts and also the elytra less elongate than in the of that spe¬ 
cies ; the scutellum and knees are concolorous, and the general coloration 
of the body is lighter. The pectus is more coarsely punctate between the 
coxae; its sutures are only very slightly infuscate, and its two sericeous 
maculae are much lighter, of a fine shining grey-yellowish hue. 
Pygidium also more strongly punctate. Legs shorter and stouter. 
Named after our best friend, Mr. Dohrn, whose zealous and success¬ 
ful exertions have done so much for the prosperity of the Entomological 
Society of Stettin, of which he has been for so many years the worthy 
President.
