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.
