Diagnosis. The species is in most characters, including the shape of styles, connective, genital plates, and female pregenital sternite, ± similar to the species of the D. paludosa group. It displays, however, a very particular aedeagus shape (Figs 41A–C) with two denticulate ventral carinae, divided by a deep furrow. The pygofer has about four-five macrosetae in dorso-caudal position.

Distribution (Fig. 62B). Described from several saline localities near Cluj in northwestern Romania. We examined specimens from Romania and Ukraine. In addition, there are records for Albania? (Dlabola, 1964); Moldova (Nast, 1987); Russia: European part (Emeljanov, 1964), northwestern Caucasus (Gnezdilov, 1999); Turkey: Anatolia (Izmir, Ankara) (Lodos & Kalkandelen, 1988); Kazakhstan (Nast, 1972); Tajikistan (Nast, 1972). The record for Albania (Dlabola, 1964) should be confirmed as it is based only on a single female which could belong to D. butzele . The records for Hungary in Horváth (1903b) refer each to localities nowadays in Romania (near Cluj-Napoca).

Ecology. The species was collected in saline places and is apparently halotolerant.
