Holotype. male, ‘ PERU, 20 km NW San Ramon, Pampa Hermosa , 1250m, 11 o 07.11′S 75 o 22.04′W, 22 Nov 2012, KJMB lgt.’ ( UPOL). GoogleMaps

Diagnosis: Body largely yellow, posterior half of elytral margins black ( Fig. 3L View Figure 3 ), tarsi and adjacent third to half of tibiae black, parameres of constant width medially, half of their basal width, parameral apices acuminate, not tubuliform. Species close to D. brevivittis Pic, 1911 from which it can be differentiated by upper portions of tibiae black.

Description: Largely yellow, only head, mouthparts, dorsal margins of antennae, apical portion of antennae ventrally, whole tarsi and adjacent third of tibiae and lateral longitudinal stripes on elytra black, antennal tubercles testaceous. Head with eyes mediocre ( Fig. 6A View Figure 6 ), interocular distance 1.1× longer than eye diameter. Antennae short, reaching humeral region, bicoloured, apical two-thirds of antennal lamellae black dorsally, extent of yellow coloration larger ventrally ( Fig. 5C View Figure 5 ) occupying basal two-thirds. Antennomere III with lamella largely black, other lamellae gradually bicoloured with internal portion of lamellae yellow and tenuous margins black. Frontoclypeus and labrum with longitudinal blackish stripe medially. Pronotum with anterior margin semicircularly produced forwards ( Fig. 4C View Figure4 ). Elytra bicoloured, with basal two-thirds longitudinal sutural stripe and apex yellow, with black longitudinal stripe in three-fifths to one-seventh on outer margins of elytra ( Fig. 3C View Figure 3 ). Sternum VIII with broadly attached, short, median point, lateroapical margins of sternum VIII almost straight, semicircular emarginations near median point absent ( Fig. 8C View Figure 8 ). Pygidium with lateral projections almost right-angled ( Fig. 8D View Figure 8 ). Apex of sternum IX spoon-like, as long as one-quarter of its length, basal tenuous projections 3× longer ( Fig. 9B View Figure 9 ). Male genitalia with long parameres, phallus one-third shorter ( Figs 10M View Figure 10 1–M View Figure 1 3 View Figure 3 ). Parameres broad basally, tapered to half width in basal quarter to one-third, parameral width constant in median portion, parameral apices acuminate. Body length: 11 mm, humeral width: 3.5 mm. Female unknown.

Etymology: Named in reference to Pampa Hermosa, the type locality.

Distribution: Peru.
