Grichanov and Brooks (2017) provided a key to all Afrotropical genera of the subfamily Sciapodinae as part of their key to the genera of the Afrotropical Dolichopodidae . Dytomyia is remarkable in having symmetrical male abdominal segments 7 and 8 and basal epandrial foramen in almost all species (except for Australian D. flaviseta Bickel, 1994); in other Sciapodinae, the hypopygial foramen is left lateral in position (Bickel 1994; Grichanov 1998). Females of close Dytomyia species are hardly distinguishable (Bickel 1994). The coloration and other characters used by Parent (1935) in his description of Sciapus nubilis Parent, 1935 are similar to those in all other Madagascan species of Dytomyia . Their females are now unknown or indeterminable. Sciapus nubilis (MNHN, examined in 1999) was described from a single female. It is regarded as unrecognizable and here declared to be a nomen dubium. This species had been referred to Dytomyia nubilis in Grichanov (2003).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/720D87A8BC65F946FE20FC0BA1D2536E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The abdomen and hypopygium are entirely brown to green-black, with metallic reflections in other Afrotropical species. The outer lobe of the male cercus in the new species is unusually long and thin, 1.7× as long as epandrium, whereas most other species of the genus (except for D. lutescens) have a short cercus, not longer than the epandrium. Males of D. lutescens also have a long cercus, 2× as long as epandrium, but its outer lobe bears a large spade-like ventral projection in basal ⅓.</p><p>Description: Male (Fig. 1A).
