Pauly; I.G.: 33.004, RBINS); 1♂ (AB42571610), Auderghem, Jardin botanique Jean Massart, 1-8.VII.2015 (Malaise trap 2, leg. A. Drumont, H. Raemdonck, A.

REMARKS. The male genitalia of the specimens examined here ( Figs 12-14 ) correspond entirely to the drawing given by COLLIN (1961: Fig. 15a ). However, as can be seen in Fig. 13 the apical connection between the right and left cercus is membranous and not sclerotized as in D. bruscellensis sp. nov. ( Fig. 4 ).
