In rich red coloration of the body Didineis botsharnikovi resembles D. bactriana , but the female has a black vertex behind the eyes (red in bactriana ), whereas the male has the entirely black mesopleuron and propodeum (in bactriana the lateral surface of the mesopleuron and the propodeum except for the enclosure are red).

Description. Body black with the following red: in female pronotum, scutum, lateral surface of mesopleuron, propodeum, metasomal segments I, and base of metasomal segment II; in male pronotum, metasomal segment I, and base of metasomal segment II. Female clypeus and band on inner eye margin yellowish-red, scape yellow ventrally, flagellum black. Male clypeus, band on inner eye margin, and scape pale-yellow, flagellum red ventrally, brownish dorsally. Legs red (male hindleg brownish). Frons microscopically, very densely punctate (punctures much less than one diameter apart). Scutum finely, somewhat densely punctate (punctures about one diameter apart). Lateral surface of mesopleuron finely punctate, shiny. Metasomal tergum II finely and somewhat densely punctate (punctures about one diameter apart). Female flagellomeres VI–IX twice as long as wide. Male flagellomeres I–III not concave ventrally, flagellomeres VI–IX longer than wide, foretibia not modified.
