Diagnosis. Adult ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 e) with wingspan 17.5–19.5 mm. This species is superficially simillar to D. figurodigita Wu & Park, 1998 . It can be distinguished by the juxta with a papillate lateral process at posterior 1/3 bearing setae, the indistinct caudal lobes, and the aedeagus with two teeth on the ventral surface at distal 1/ 4 in the male genitalia ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 d). In D. figurodigita , the juxta has no lateral process, the caudal lobes are short digitate, and the aedeagus has no teeth on the ventral surface ( Wu & Park, 1998: 3, Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 ).

Distribution. China (Fujian, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Taiwan), Vietnam and India.

Note. This species is recorded for the first time from Vietnam and India.
