Comments: The female of D. copelandi is similar to that of D. hararianus Olmi, 1987 . The main differences concern the temples (shorter than OPL in D. copelandi , longer than OPL in D. hararianus ), the notauli (complete in D. copelandi , incomplete and reaching about 0.5–0.6 length of scutum in D. hararianus ) and the forewing (with two dark transverse bands in D. copelandi , with three dark transverse bands in D. hararianus ). The new species was compared with the holotype of D. hararianus from =LPEDEZH, +DUDUH (0&=).
