A small pretty little species allied to D. molitor, Wied., 
but distinguished from it by the black and white moustache 
and black bristles on the legs. D. incisuralis, Macgq., is

talia are short, whereas in this species they are very long 
and slender; the white bristles on the abdomen are very 
noticeable. 
Length 10 mm.
