Description (Male). Color. Head, thorax and abdomen brown; antenna, palpus, legs and hypopygium yellowish-brown; wing fumose. Head ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 A, B). Eye bridge with 4–5 rows of facets. Prefrons with 19–45 setae. Clypeus with 1–3 setae. Palpus three-segmented, basal segment with 3–8 setae; 2nd segment with 14–20 setae; 3rd segment with 8–17 setae. Length/width of 4th flagellomere: 2.99–3.86. Thorax. Anterior pronotum with 8–15 setae, episternum 1 with 3–14 setae. Wings ( Fig. 10 View FIGURE 10 D). Wing length 3.11–3.85 (4.30 mm for Guizhou individual), width/length: 0.33–0.40. c/w: 0.38–0.54. R1/R: 0.60–1.02. Y/X: 1.95–2.86. Y with 0–3 setae, stM with 1–8 setae, M and Cu with numerous setae. Legs. Fore tibia with a comb of 8–12 setae ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 D). Length of spur/width of foretibia 1.53–1.99. Length of femur/length of metatarsus: foreleg 0.79–0.91. Length of metatarsus/length of tibia: foreleg 0.63–0.83, hind leg 0.52–0.74. Length of hind tibia/length of thorax 1.99–2.45. Fore tibia with 1 dorsal, 7– 17 ventral, 2–18 prolateral and 4–26 retrolateral spinose setae. Tarsal claws with large teeth. Hypopygium ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 A, B, C). Gonocoxite slightly longer than gonostylus. Ventral setosity of gonocoxite dense, 2–3 setae at the apicoventral corner greatly elongated, setosity sparse on intercoxal area of hypopygium. Gonostylus slender, eventually narrowed towards apex, with impression on apicomesial part; setosity dense at apex, with 10–16 straight megasetae subequal in size that scattered in the impression. Tegmen wider than long. Sternite 10 with 1–2 setae on each half. N = 15 for all measurements.
Distribution. China (Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou, Taiwan , Yunnan, Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 ).
Remarks. By the gonostylus, this new species is similar to D. oxyacantha sp. nov. ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 ), D. megumiae and D. ninae , and the diagnosis is under the former species.
Etymology. This species is named after its gonostylus having an apicomesially impression, which looks like a ditch, from the Latin adjective scrobiculatus, meaning ditch.
