Hind wing dark-grey with very dense reticulated pattern throughout all wing, fringe mottled dark-brown at veins (in thick bundles), light-brown between veins.

Male genitalia. Uncus robust, distally split to middle by deep notch, halves of uncus strongly widened; gnathos arms very short, thin; costal edge of valve slightly curved, with tapered finger-like process in distal third, abdominal edge heavily curved, outer edge semicircular; juxta robust, scaphoid, with long subulate abdominal process; saccus relatively short, robust, cylindrical, apically semicircular; phallus shorter than valve, vesica without cornuti.

Diagnosis. Externally, the species is mostly close to D. morosa ( Schaus, 1911) , D. nekrasovi Naydenov, Yakovlev, Penco & Sinyaev sp. nov., D. pushkini Naydenov, Yakovlev, Penco & Sinyaev sp. nov. and D. rubtsovi Naydenov, Yakovlev, Penco & Sinyaev sp. nov. from which it clearly differs by the darker color of the wings and by the tapered finger-like process ion the distal third on the costal edge of the valve.

Distribution. Ecuador.

Etymology. The new species is named after the Russian playwright, generally considered the greatest representative of the Russian realistic period Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky.
