Material examined. Holotype ♂: Brasilien, Santa Catarina, S. Bento do Sul, Serra Rio Natal , 850 m, Feb. 1999, leg. H. Thöny (GenPr- Heterocera MWM 28.534 ) ( MWM) ; Paratype 1 ♀: Brasilien, Santa Catarina, S. Bento do Sul, Serra Rio Natal , 850 m, April 1999, leg. H. Thöny (GenPr- Heterocera MWM 37.002 ) ( MWM) .

Description. Male. Length of fore wing 15 mm. Fore wing very narrow, dark-brown, with light-brown transverse bands (of thin undulated lines) discally, postdiscally and submarginally, fringe mottled brown at veins (in thick bundles), light-brown between veins. Hind wing white coal-black in middle, basally and distally, fringe black unicolorous.

Male genitalia. Uncus robust, forked, halves diverged to sides at acute angle, apices uneven; gnathos arms very short, thin; costal and abdominal edges of valve practically smooth, outer edge semicircular, apex slightly extended; juxta robust, scaphoid, with relatively short abdominal process semicircular apically, saccus very long, fisiform, apically sharp; phallus short, basally swollen, vesica without cornuti.

Female. Length of fore wing 15 mm. Fore wing slightly wider than that of male, dark-brown, with pattern of light-brown thin undulated lines forming bands discally, postdiscally and submarginally, fringe mottled: brown at veins (in thick bundles), light-brown between veins. Hind wing dark-brown, without pattern, fringe unicolorous, dark-brown.

Female genitalia. Ovipositor short; papillae anales semicircular, wide, densely covered with small spikes; anterior and posterior apophyses very short, thick, practically of equal length; ostium wide, cup-like, framed with poorly sclerotized plate; ductus of bursae copulatrix short, membranous, relatively wide; bursa copulatrix bag-like, without signa.

Diagnosis. Externally, the new species differs sharply from all the other species of the genus by its narrow fore wing. In this feature it is similar to D. turgenevi Naydenov, Yakovlev, Penco & Sinyaev sp. nov., but differs in its bigger size and the very long fusiform saccus.

Distribution. Brazil, Santa Catarina.

Etymology. The new species is named after the Russian writer Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy.
