Legs long and slender; fore femora about 2.6 times as long as the pronotum, beneath unarmed, internal knee lobe without spines, genicular lobe with 1 long movable spur; fore tibia beneath with 2 external and 2 internal spurs, between the paired apical spurs with a median spur. Mid femora with a long movable spur on the internal and genicular lobe; mid tibia beneath with 2 external and 2 internal spurs, between the paired apical spurs with a short spur. Hind femora beneath with 8–9 inter spines and without outer spines; hind tibia above with 34–37 outer spines and 29–32 inter spines, inner spur of hind tibia longer than hind metatarsus. Hind metatarsus with 2 dorsal spines. Paraproct with 2 quite adjacent apical spines ( Fig. 8 ). Process of 7th abdominal tergite strongly curved downwards ( Fig. 8 ) and with truncated apex ( Fig. 9 ). Male genitalia with 2 small apical tubercles of dorso-median lobe and slightly widening to basal part ( Fig. 10 ).

Female. Unknown.

Coloration. Body brown with darkish marks. Face light with 4 darkish longitudinal bands and 2 dark spots near clypeal suture. Legs light with dark marks and genicular lobes black.

Measurements. (length in mm) Body Ƌ20.0–24.0; pronotum Ƌ6.0–7.0; fore femora Ƌ17.0–18.5; hind femora Ƌ32.0–34.5; hind tibia Ƌ35.5–37.5.

Material examined. Holotype, 1♂, Mulun nature reserve, Huanjiang, Guangxi, alt. 300m, 2015. VII.18–22, collected by Sun Mei-Ling; paratype, 1Ƌ, same data as holotype.

Distribution. China (Guangxi).

Discussion. This new species is similar to D. bispinosa Gorochov, 2015 , but differs as follows: 2 apical spines of male paraproct very adjacent, process of male 7th abdominal tergite strongly curved downwards and with truncated apex.
