Description.

Whorl of setae on flagellomeres in male: absent. Shape of A3-A11 in male: cylindrical.

Color of antennae in female: A1-A2 orange, otherwise brown. Color of mesosoma: dorsal mesoscutellum black, otherwise orange. Color of head: black. Number of labial palpomeres: 1. Number of maxillary palpomeres: 4. Setation of torular triangle: present. Continuity of torular triangle and central keel: torular triangle closed dorsally, continuous complete central keel. Color of interantennal process: yellow. Setation of frons: transverse strip directly above interantennal process glabrous, otherwise setose. Sculpture of dorsal frons: dorsoventrally strigose. Sculpture of vertex: rugulose; very finely punctate. Epomial carina: present. Netrion in lateral view: present only at ventral limit of pronotum. Sculpture of vertical face of pronotum: smooth. Ventral propleural area: smooth. Sculpture of propleural cervical sulcus: foveolate. Sculpture of mesoscutum: punctate to finely areolate, coarser in posterior half. Notaulus: weakly indicated posteriorly amid sculpture. Sculpture of scutoscutellar sulcus: smooth; smooth along posterior margin of mesoscutum, anterior margin of mesoscutellum with ridges laterally. Orientation of transaxillar carina: parallel to longitudinal axis of body. Sculpture of mesoscutellum: punctate to areolate; rugose. Density of setae on lateral margin of mesoscutellum: dense. Posterior margin of mesoscutellum: concave between mesoscutellar spines. Median mesoscutellar spine: present. Lateral extreme of posterior scutoscutellar sulcus: foveae extending to axillula. Sculpture of metanotal trough: foveolate. Sculpture of lateral propodeal area: irregularly rugose. Lateral propodeal carina: present. Plica: present. Forewing pattern in female: wing uniform in color. Forewing color in male: uniform throughout. Sculpture of metapleural sulcus: smooth. Sculpture of dorsal metapleural area: smooth; transversely rugose. Sculpture of ventral metapleural area: transversely rugose. Number of setae on lateral T1: 2; 3; 4; many. Sculpture of T4: smooth. Lateral patch on T5: present.

Diagnosis.

Dvivarnus agamades can be separated from D. elektrolythron and D. mikuki by the foveolate metanotal trough (Fig. 5 ). Females may be separated on the basis of the non-patterned forewing.
