Redescription. Small to moderate in size (6.5–14.0 mm). Body oval to elongate-oval. Color light brown in teneral specimens to black, with distinct metallic sheen only in D. robustum . Clypeus regularly tapering toward apex, which is moderately to strongly upturned; apex at most broadly emarginate, never with two distinct teeth. Clypeofrontal suture always distinctly carinate. Pronotal anterior portion modified, produced into a single broad or two narrow lobate projections and additional modifications; simple only in D. robustum , which has a somewhat triangular impression on each side of midline. Pronotal disc with a deep and well defined longitudinal sulcus along most of midline. Elytra strongly convex, with 7 striae on disc, stria 8 distinct from stria 9 only at apex. Elytral pseudepiplera concealed in dorsal view. Pygidium narrowly sulcate basally, sulcus broadly arcuate or slightly bisinuous in distal view. Protibia obliquely truncate anteriorly; protarsi atrophied and usually broken off in non teneral individuals. Mesotibiae and metatibiae very wide at apex in ventral view; tarsi reduced in length, first tarsomere at most 1.5 X longer than wide at apex, usually as wide at apex as long. Sternite 8 unmodified medially. Aedeagus unmodified, parameres simply tapering toward apex, lacking denticles, hooks or rough surface. Internal sac with variously shaped sclerites, usually with a large apical sclerite seemingly forming a guide for the flagellum.
