Diagnosis. In the groupı D. manni is the largest of the five recognised brachypterous species and is separated from them by the following combined characters: cephalic carina higher than wide bearing a weakly emargination at the apex; anterior pronotal excavation bearing spaced fine punctures spaced by more than twice their diameter; central-curved lobe delimiting the pronotal disc from the anterior declivity and paramera longitudinal excavation taking the apical one third.

Distribution. the label (from 1970s) is written ‘ Serra da Canastra ’ ı in the state of Minas Geraisı BRAZIL. Howeverı this is a dubious locality since we do not have any other information concerning this species ( Figure 42 ).
