Comment.
This species was described in detail by
ANDREWES (1929)
. All above-cited specimens correspond with the
holotype
and the original description; only the single male from Yunnan has slightly finer elytral striae, whereas the striae are slightly deeper in the female from Chitwan than in the
holotype
. The shape of the median lobe of the aedeagus of the male from Yunnan perfectly agrees with that of the
holotype
(apex trefoil-like in ventral view). Three specimens from
Thailand
, formerly identified as aberrant specimens of
D. disjunctus
, are described above as
D. facchinii
sp. nov.
