6.5 to 7.0 mm. (average 6.8 mm.) in greatest width. Four females 
vary in length from 30 to 34 mm. (average 31.5 mm.) and in width 
from 7.4 to 7.6 mm (average 7.5 mm.). The females tend to have 
much narrower transverse bands or orange on the tergites, and, of 
course, to be bulkier in body form with somewhat longer and more 
slender legs than the males. The distribution of sternal setae appears 
to be constant in all of the specimens examined. 
Remarks: At the type locality, this species was collected in rich, 
moist, tulip-poplar forest with a scattered understory of rhododendron. 
Species in the xystodesmid genera Cherokia, Sigmoria, and Nannaria 
were found in association. Only the two specimens of mariana were 
obtained during an expenditure of about two man-hours of collecting, 
while more than 40 individuals of Cherokia georgiana were found. The 
species was also obtained a few miles away by Leslie Hubricht, who 
secured 11 specimens wandering at night. This locality differs from 
that just described in having more rhododendron and hemlock. At 
Highlands, North Carolina, specimens were found in well-drained oak- 
hickory forest with a Kalmia understory. The species is apparently 
very secretive; only a few have been obtained at Highlands despite 
field work extending over a period of almost 10 years. 
DisrrisutTion: Extreme western North Carolina, chiefly on the 
headwater drainage system of the French Broad River. Known from 
three localities in the Pisgah and Blue Ridge ranges, the species can be 
expected to occur in adjoining parts of South Carolina and Georgia. 
Specimens are at hand from the following localities:

TYPE SPECIMEN: Male holotype, ANSP, from Ramsey Prong, Great 
Smoky Mountains National Park, Sevier County, Tennessee, collected 
by Henry Hanson on July 10, 1947. 
Diacnosts: A small species of the genus, similar to D. mariana 
in size, paranotal shape, and general appearance of the gonopods, 
but differing in the much smaller coxae, the less expanded subterminal 
part of the telopodite, and the distinctly larger marginal process B 
of the latter area.
