Material examined

Remarks

Label data from the only previously dissected specimen in the DeLong collection at Ohio State Universityı labelled as the holotype of this speciesı was misquoted in DeLong’ s (1967) publication. This specimen is unquestionably the holotype because DeLong (1967) illustrated the male genitalia with his original description and none of the paratypes were dissected. The label data published with the original description instead apply to three of the four specimens labelled as paratypes. DeLong’ s type series of D. hemicycla includes two additional undescribed species. Study of the entire type series of five specimens indicates that the specimen originally labelled as the holotype is the only representative of D. hemicycla speciesı whereas other specimens in the type series belong to the species D. youajla and D. xajxayakamej ı described as new above.
