Diagnosis.
The species is in most characters, including the shape of styles, connective, genital plates, and female pregenital sternite, ± similar to the species of the
D. paludosa
group. It displays, however, a very particular aedeagus shape (
Figs 41A–C
) with two denticulate ventral carinae, divided by a deep furrow. The pygofer has about four-five macrosetae in dorso-caudal position.
Distribution (
Fig. 62B
).
Described from several saline localities near
Cluj
in northwestern
Romania
. We examined specimens from
Romania
and
Ukraine
. In addition, there are records for
Albania
? (
Dlabola, 1964
);
Moldova
(
Nast, 1987
);
Russia
: European part (
Emeljanov, 1964
), northwestern Caucasus (
Gnezdilov, 1999
);
Turkey
:
Anatolia
(
Izmir
,
Ankara
) (
Lodos & Kalkandelen, 1988
);
Kazakhstan
(
Nast, 1972
);
Tajikistan
(
Nast, 1972
). The record for
Albania
(
Dlabola, 1964
) should be confirmed as it is based only on a single female which could belong to
D. butzele
. The records for
Hungary
in
Horváth (1903b)
refer each to localities nowadays in
Romania
(near
Cluj-Napoca
).
Ecology.
The species was collected in saline places and is apparently halotolerant.
