Remarks
- Systematics: This species is close to D. walkeri, but differs in the presence of 9-segmented antennae. However, Danzig and Gavrilov-Zimin (2015) noted that Pellizzari & Fontana (1996) stated that one of the type females had 7 segmented antennae and the character seemed to vary within the type series. The paratype studied by them had 9 segmented antennae with pseudoarticulation between segments 8 and 9.
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Pellizari & Fontana (1996).
