Recently, it has been shown that a connected graph $\Gamma$ with $d+1$ distinct eigenvalues and odd-girth $2d+1$ is distance-regular. The proof of this result was based on the spectral excess theorem. In this note we present an alternative and more direct proof which does not rely on the spectral excess theorem, but on a known characterization of distance regular graphs in terms of the predistance polynomial of degree $d$.

Let $G$ be a regular (connected) graph with $n$ vertices and $d+1$ distinct eigenvalues. As a main result, it is shown that $G$ is an $r$-antipodal distance-regular graph if and only if the distance graph $G_d$ is constituted by disjoint copies of the complete graph $K_r$, with $r$ satisfying an expression in terms of $n$ and the distinct eigenvalues.

A graph $\Gamma$ with diameter $d$ is strongly distance-regular if $\Gamma$ is distance-regular and its distance-$d$ graph $\Gamma _d$ is strongly regular. The known examples are all the connected strongly regular graphs (i.e. $d=2$), all the antipodal distance-regular graphs, and some distance-regular graphs with diameter $d=3$. The main result in this paper is a characterization of these graphs (among regular graphs with $d$ distinct eigenvalues), in terms of the eigenvalues, the sum of the multiplicities corresponding to the eigenvalues with (non-zero) even subindex, and the harmonic mean of the degrees of the distance-$d$ graph.
