Etymology. The new species is dedicated to the late Chilean poet Pablo Neruda for his 111 birthday (July 12, 1904).
Discussion. The new species belongs to the group of species with pso formula 11/011/11111, Abd VI with 7 spiniform processes and elongate PAO, D. chazeaui Weiner & Najt, 1991 , D. harrisoni Bagnall, 1948 , D. laterospina Salmon, 1941 , D. matileorum Najt, 1988 , D. pefauri Rubio & Najt, 1979 and D. spinosissima (Wahlgren, 1906) (Table 8). They differ in the number of vesicles on PAO (more than 26 vesicles in D. laterospina and D. pefauri ), the apical vesicle on Ant IV (present and conspicuous in D. laterospina , D. pefauri , D. harrisoni and D. spinosissima ) and the dorsal chaetotaxy (Table 8).

Discussion. The new species is most similar to D. americana Rapoport, 1962 and D. jarai Najt & Rubio, 1978 , they share the pso formula 11/011/11111 and triangular PAO (Table 8), but they differ in the number of vesicles on PAO (12–15 in D. americana , 10-11 in D. jarai vs 18–20 in the new species), the number of spiniform processes on Abd VI (5 in D. jarai vs 7 in D. americana and D. najtae sp. nov.), the apical vesicle on Ant IV (present in D. jarai and D. americana vs absent in the new species) and the dorsal chaetotaxy (Table 8).
