Figures 2 , 4–13 , 15 , 18 , 23 .

Type material. Holotype. ♂. Type locality: Mindanao, Province of Lanao del Norte, Momungan (Philippines) ( USNM) . Paratypes. 6 specimens. Philippines. BOETTCHER, North Mindanao, Province of Lanao del Norte,

Momungan, 28-II-1915 ( FSCA, 2) ; 7-III-1915 ( USNM, 1) ; 8-III-1915 ( USNM, 1) ; 7-III-1915 ( USNM, 1) ; no date available ( USNM, 1).

Diagnosis. Except for the antennal construction, these beetles resemble superficially the specimen of D. discrepans (Gorham) . In D. kelleri specimens the capitular antennomeres are considerably shorter (compare Fig. 1–2 ). Also, in D. kelleri specimens the elytra are predominately testaceous, which is not the case in most D. discrepans available beetles.

Description. Size: Length 8.0 mm; width 2.0 mm. Habitus 15. Color. Antennae mostly brown except last antennomer testaceous; cranium black; pronotum yellow; elytra flavotestaceous, except apex black, elytra vested with very fine setae; legs bicolorous; remainder of integument flavotestaceous. Head. Eye broader than width (EW/FW 30/25), ommatidia large; capitular antennomers 8 and 9 with long collateral branch. Thorax. Pronotum with minute punctures (PW/ PL 90/100); elytral punctures minute (EL/EW 370/100). Abdomen. Aedeagus as in Fig. 18 .

Distribution. This species is known from the Philippines ( Fig. 23 ).

Etymology. The trivial name, kelleri , is a patronymic that recognizes Oliver Keller for his departmental courtesies.
