Remarks. In the past D. guttata and D. oblongoguttata were often confused. The identity of both species remained doubtful until the type specimens of D. oblongoguttata were identified by Drake & Chandler (1997). The species are distinguished only by the male terminalia, where the clasping cercus in lateral view is straight ( D. guttata) or clearly scythe-shaped ( D. oblongoguttata). Both species are recorded here for the first time from Portugal. Obviously, they often co-occur at the same locality. Females cannot be distinguished.
