In general facies and shape of the elytra, very closely related to D. vitrea, but easily distinguishable by the structures mentioned in the key, the size of the hood, and shape of the inflated portion of median carina. Length mm.; width mm. Head with three frontal spines, the tips of the latter not quite reaching the middle of the first antennal segment. Antennse long and slender, the third segment slightly curved and almost twice as long as the fourth; fourth seg- ment only slightly enlarged, clothed with a few long hairs. Rostrum reaching almost to the end of the mesosternum. Elytra formed as in vitrea, but with the subcostal area biseriate and the tumid elevations slightly smaller, costal area broad, with five rows of areolae at its widest place. Wings a little longer than the abdomen. Pronotum very coarsely punctate; paranota broad, with four rows of large areolae, the anterior and posterior margins recurved (See fig. I, a and b). Hood a little larger than in vitrea and a little longer than high ; inflated portion of median carina with the anterior margin nearly trun- cate and slightly sloping obliquely upwards caudad. General color of vitrea Champion, but without the faint transverse. Fig. I. Dicysta hollandi Drake, n. sp. a, dorsal view; b, lateral view of hood and inflated portion of median carina. \-'.
