Diagnosis. This species is very similar to the D. albolyclene ( Holloway, 1999) from Borneo ( Holloway, 1999: Plate 5, Figs 235, 245) in appearance and in male genitalia, but can be distinguished by the aedeagus of male genitalia having a larger and longer cornutus, the ductus bursae of female genitalia with a longer sclerotized area near longer corpus bursae.
