KENYA : 1 female , Nyanza, Gembe Hills, 1362m ., 0o 29.36S , 34 o 14.60E , 27.iv. – 11.v.2006 , malaise trap, R.S. Copeland ( BMNH ). Remarks. This is both new to Kenya and the first known female. The wing has a complete costal band, similar to the holotype of D. blepharogaster . Unlike both holotype males, the mid- and hindfemora are distinctly bicoloured, being almost black in the apical third. The abdomen differs in having a distinct black midline on terga IV and V; tergite IV is largely black with indistict red-brown areas posteriorly either side of the midline; tergite V is distinctly red-brown either side of the midline, implying a similarity to the description of the lost abdomen of the holotype of D. zavattarianus . The aculeus is well exposed; it lacks any torsion and is shaped like D. brevis Coquillett, 1901 .
