( Fig. 7 A, B, C View Fig )

Type material. Holotype: Female. Mindanao, Mt. Parker , T’boli, South Cotabato, 07.2014, local collector leg.

Paratypes: Male. Philippines: Mindanao, Mt. Apo, Kidapawan , South Cotabato, 09.2014, local collector leg.; Female. Philippines: Mindanao , Kiamba , Sarangani, 09.2014, local collector leg .

Description. Body black, with light luster. Surface very convex, with greenish, iridescent spots. Body length: 13.1 – 13.8 mm, largest width: 5.5 – 6.1 mm.

Head almost square, parallel-sided, with bilobate eyes. Head between eyes and protrudet antennal bases with longitudinal band of greenish scales and thin straight median line. Head on front of greenish band shiny, without white pubescence. Cheeks beneath eyes without spot of greenish scales, without sparse punctures near eyes and with very fine transverse microsculpture. Labrum pubescent and punctate. Head black, finely punctate, glossy, with luster. In frontal part weaklyconvex, with very fine transverse microsculpture. Two basal antennomeres black with light purple luster and pubescence, third antennomere brown basally, fourth antennomere testaceous basally, with very fine white pubescence, remaining antennomeres testaceous and tomentose. Pronotum very convex, shiny, with sparse coarse punctuation in later al par ts, with fin e tr an sver se microsculpture. Pronotum in frontal part with transverse stripe of greenish scales, widened laterally. Disc of pronotum in centrum without pubescence, shiny. Scutellum apically rounded, shiny and tomentose. Elytra very convex, black, shiny, with purple or greenish metallic luster, with greenish spots of scales. Basal yellow circle small, round, not elongated. Second spot transverse, narrow. Apical spot slightly triangular, often interrupted basally, with enlarged corners. Lateral sides of elytra with slightly protruding shoulder bumps. Lateral sides of each elytron behind shoulders without raised nodules and with wide impressions under transverse band. Width of elytra at shoulders: 4.7 – 5.0 mm. Largest width of elytron behind middle: 5.5 – 6.1 mm. Elytra with sparse and coarse punctures and pubescence laterally, in the front of transverse band smoothly. Meso-, metaepimera and sternites spotted laterally, covered with greenish scales. Femora without small yellow spot at apex, more or less tomentose. Dorsal surface of tarsomeres covered by grey, tomentum. Tibia and tarsi in apical part covered by numerous setae.

Differential diagnosis. The new species similar to D. frosti Schultze, 1923 ( Fig. 7D View Fig ), D. confluens Kriesche, 1928 ( Fig. 7E View Fig ), D. viridisignata Breuning, 1947 ( Fig. 7F View Fig ) and D. siargaoensis Schultze, 1919 ( Fig. 9A, C View Fig ) by some features of body surface shape, but differs from these species by shape of spots on elytra and pronotum. First transverse band by D. serapavginae sp. n. is more narrower as by D. huruki sp. n. and D. frosti . Apical spot by by D. serapavginae sp. n. is different as by all other species: slightly triangular, often interrupted basally, with enlarged corners. By D. huruki sp. n. apical spot is triangular, completely covered with scales, by D. siargaoensis , D. siargaoensis , D. frosti and D. confluens apical spot content from three different spots – one triangular and two rounded or one V – shaped and one transverse stripes. New species differs from other species also with shape of pronotum and some other features.

Remark. The holotype of this species was infected by Nematoda. Withdrawn of Nematoda are glued on paper and added to the holotype specimen.

Etymology. This species is named after my colleague and friend, the Turkish coleopterologist Sakine Serap Avgin (KahramanmaraŞ Sütçü İmam Üniversitesi, KahramanmaraŞ, Turkey) in appreci-ation of cooperation.
