.” Genitalia dissected by DG; in
AMNH
.
A dissected male with genitalia and some other structures indicating a different species from
D. suma
, but the head on the unique specimen has been lost, making it too partial to fully diagnose. Aedeagus apically narrow, with fine scales and central microtrichia/spicules; aedeagus in lateral view significantly thicker than in
D. suma
; subepandrial sclerite π-shaped; profemur particularly short relative to the mid-femur (0.65, vs. ca. 0.80).
