Species recognition. This species is easily confused with some of those recognized herein. It can be recognized by close observation of the carinae of the hind femur, having a strong, straight, transverse carina distally, and a more basal, smaller carina abruptly extending dorsally to the group of peglike setae. The similar
D
.
oyapockensis
has a rounded distal carina and a gradually ascending basal carina; even more similar are
D. gravis
and
D
.
sinuicarina
, which are also separated by the form of the hind femoral carinae.

1.59–2.13 mm
. Head: Frons dark brown, second row of setae slightly concave. Flagellomere 1 oval, brown. Palpus slightly enlarged, inflated, brown. Thorax: Scutum dark brown. Scutellum dark brown, with 2 pairs of setae; anterior seta one-half length of posterior seta. Pleuron brown. Mean costal length 0.52 wing length, range 0.51–0.53. Halter light brown.
