Remarks

This species was described from three females and five males. Two females and two males were located by Huggert (1979), of which he designated one as lectotype of D. seychellensis . The lectotype is mounted on a papered cork block; the left antenna and left wings are mounted on a microslide on the same pin. Huggert considered two of the paralectotypes were not conspecific with T. seychellensis and designated one the holotype of Trichopria ensia q. v. and another the holotype of Trichopria percyi q.v.
