Abdomen metallic green. Hairs and bristles on abdomen black. Male genitalia ( Figures 4B–E View Figure 4 ): Epandrium distinctly longer than wide; inner epandrial lobe distinct, outer epandrial lobe with two apical bristles; cercus with distinct finger-like processes and marginal bristles; hypandrium narrow apically; aedeagus slender, slightly swollen apically.

Female. Unknown.

Measurements of male (mm). Body length 4.1 mm, wing length 3.7 mm.

Remarks

According to Stackelberg (1930) and Negrobov et al. (2005), the specimen runs to D. geniculatus Stannius , which differs from D. lepidus Staeger and D. microstigma Stackelberg by the costal callus indistinct.
