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.
