Ashton ; 2♂, same locality and collector, 3400 m, 17.VIII.2012 . Sichuan (IZCAS): 1♀, Luding, Moxi, Hailuogou , 2596 m, 12.IX.2016, leg. Li Xinxin ; 1♀, Luding, Moxi, Hailuogou Guancezhan , 3000 m, 10.IX.2016, leg. Li Xinxin.

Distribution.

China (Sichuan, Yunnan).

Remarks.

Compared to the male genitalia of the holotype (fig. 17 in Wilkinson 1968) of D. spilota , the socii of the paratype examined are much broader and blunter, while the aedeagus and 8th segment have no distinct differences. Further study is needed to investigate whether this is intraspecific variation, or more than one species is present in the large type series.
