Material examined 1: " LAOS-NE, Houa-Phan prov., 20°12'01-30''N 104°00'34- 55''E, 1750-1850 m, Phou Pane Mt. , 4.+ 10.vi.2009, ZdenČk Kraus leg. ( NHMB); GoogleMaps 1: " CHINA Guangdong Pr., Ding Hu Shan Biosphere R., 6.V.1998 J. Fellowes " ( cRou) .

Comment: Based on external characters, the above female represents an undescribed species most closely allied to D. sagittata . It is characterized by a noticeably oblong head with fine and extremely dense punctation, the pronotal punctation being noticeable coarser than that of the head, the conspicuously coarse and irregular macropunctation of the elytra, and the meso- and metatibiae being of distinctly paler coloration than the meso- and metafemora.
