Description. Male. Length of fore wing 16 mm. Fore wing dark-grey with dense reticulated black pattern postdiscally and submarginally, basal and discal area heavily darkened, brown triangle portion postdiscally (at cubital veins), fringe grey unicolorous. Hind wing grey with dense black reticulated pattern throughout all wing, fringe mottled dark-brown at veins (in thick bundles), light-brown between veins.

Male genitalia. Uncus robust, completely split by deep notch, halves of uncus apically rounded, of equal width along all length; gnathos arms very short, thin; costal edge of valve heavily curved, apically with long sharp process, abdominal edge heavily curved; juxta robust, scaphoid, with long tapered abdominal process apically rounded; saccus long, tapered, with poorly rounded process; phallus short, heavily curved on border between proximal and medium thirds, vesica without cornuti.

Female. Unknown.

Diagnosis. Externally, the new species is mostly close to the species group of D. morosa ( Schaus, 1911) , D. nekrasovi Naydenov, Yakovlev, Penco & Sinyaev sp. nov., D. ostrovskyi Naydenov, Yakovlev, Penco & Sinyaev sp. nov. and D. rubtsovi Naydenov, Yakovlev, Penco & Sinyaev sp. nov. from which it differs by the brown triangle portion on the fore wing postdiscally (at cubital veins) and by the long sharp process on the costal edge of the valve apically.

Distribution. Ecuador, Colombia.

Etymology. The new species is named after the Russian poet, playwright, and novelist Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin.
