Description.
Length
10.8–11.4 mm
, width
3.4–3.6 mm
. Black, head and pronotum with slight blue luster; elytra with very slight green luster; apical two-thirds of Ant 1 black, basal third brown, Ant 2 and Ant 3 dark brown, Ant 4–11 brown; femora and tibiae black, tarsi dark brown. Head slightly wider than pronotum, HW/PW
5
1.11 (1.08–1.13); vertex convex, coarsely punctate; Ant 1/ Ant 3
5
3.63 (3.50–3.72); labrum with medial lobe slightly protruded anteriorly; genae long, distinctly tumid; eyes large, 2.5 times as long as genae. Pronotum densely punctate, wide, PL/PW
5
1.47 (1.45–1.49); lateral margins gradually widened from apical angles to middle, sinuate before basal angles; basal angles protruded laterally, nearly rectangular; basal foveae shallow; middle line fine. Elytra short, EL/EW
5
1.69 (1.67–1.72), EW/PW
5
2.35 (2.30–2.38); lateral margins widened posteriad to apical third, then narrowed to apex; outer angles sharp, with a short tooth; intervals flat, densely punctate, interspace between two adjacent punctures narrower than diameter of punctures. Tarsal claws with 6 long pectinations, the longest pectination subequal to the width of claw base (

).
Distribution.
Philippines
,
Indonesia
.
Remarks.
Members of this species are similar to those of
D. unidentatus
(Macleay)
in having long claw pectinations and a large ratio of Ant 1/Ant 3, but differ in having a shorter pronotum, nearly black elytra, and black femora. They are also similar to members of
D. gestroi
Bates
, as stated by Heller (1921: 303), but differ in having a longer pronota than
D. gestroi
members. The femora and tibiae of adults of
D. schultzei
are all black, which is unique within the genus.
