( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 )

Non-type material. Strain PSE (Cantareira, São Paulo, Brazil): 61 males dissected .

Male terminalia. The hypandrium, the aedeagal sheath, aedeagal apex, aedeagal ventral processes and pregonites of this species resemble those of D. nigrosaltans ( Fig. 7A–E View FIGURE 7 ). The aedeagal dorsal crest is lower in D. pseudosaltans ( Fig. 7B View FIGURE 7 ). The most notable difference between these species is in the ventral postgonites with wider, darker, and slightly bifurcate ends in D. pseudosaltans ( Fig. 7B–D View FIGURE 7 ).
