Notauli incomplete, reaching approximately 0.7–0.8 × length of mesoscutum. Mesoscutellum and metanotum shiny, punctate, unsculptured among punctures. Mesopleuron punctate, unsculptured among punctures. Metapleuron shiny, unsculptured. Metapectal-propodeal disc reticulate rugose, without strong transverse posterior keel; propodeal declivity without longitudinal keels, with central shiny unsculptured area. Forewing with dark distal transverse band; distal part of 2r-rs&Rs vein longer than proximal part (17:13). Paramere (

(CAS). Description: general aspect of a
♂
, without chelae. Fully winged; body length
3.7 mm
. Head black, except mandible testaceous (with brown teeth) and anterior half of clyp- eus testaceous; antenna testaceous, except antennomeres 8–10 brown; mesosoma black; metasoma brown-black; legs testaceous-ferruginous. Antenna filiform, setose; antennomeres in following proportions: 10:5:6:11:10:10:9:8:8:11. Head dull, reticulate rugose and with many irregular longitudinal keels; frontal line absent; occipital carina complete; POL = 10; OL = 5; OOL = 7; OPL = 8; TL = 7; greatest breadth of lateral ocelli about as long as OL. Mesoscutum dull, reticulate rugose and with many irregular longitudinal keels. Notauli incomplete, reaching about 0.5 × length of mesoscutum. Mesoscutellum and metanotum dull, reticulate rugose. Metapectal-propodeal disc dull, reticulate rugose, without transverse posterior keel; propodeal declivity reticulate rugose, without longitudinal keels. Forewing completely slightly darkened. Distal part of 2r-rs&Rs vein much longer than proximal part (29:11). Specimen with ovipositor, without
♂
genitalia. This specimen is attributed tentatively to
D. steineri
, because collected together with one normal
♂
specimen in the same locality. The reticulate rugose sculpture of the mesoscutum is not present in any species collected in the same locality (
D. harinhalai
,
madecassus
,
pulcher
,
rusticus
,
steineri
,
suavis
). The above sculpture is possibly present in the still unknown
♀
of
D. steineri
.
