Material examined. Holotype ♂: Guyane Franc., Saül , 200m, 19−23.i.1971, J.T. Betz ( MNHN).

Description. Male. Length of fore wing 19 mm. Fore wing brown with S-shaped wide light-brown stripe from wing root to anal angle, series of dark-brown spots of various shapes, fringe brown, unicolorous. Hind wing light-grey, almost without pattern, fringe brown, unicolorous.

Male genitalia. Uncus robust, relatively short, deeply forked, each half of uncus with small tapered prong, directed medially; gnathos arms very short, thin, narrowing from base to apex; valve with slightly curved abdominal edge, costal edge with deep notch on border between basal and medium thirds, long poorly curved spiky process in distal third, valve apically semicircular; juxta with sharp subulate abdominal process; saccus tapered, apically blunt; phallus short, vesica without cornuti.

Female. Unknown.

Diagnosis. The new species reliably differs from all the known species of the genus in the valve shape (with the poorly curved abdominal edge, the deep notch on the border of basal and medium thirds of the costal edge, and the slightly curved spiky process in the distal third). The species is mostly close to D. chekhovi Naydenov, Yakovlev, Penco & Sinyaev sp. nov. from which it differs in the absence of the long process on the top of the valve.

Distribution. French Guiana.

Etymology. The new species is named after the Russian writer, medical doctor and playwriter Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov.
