Distribution:? Burundi , Democratic Republic of Congo , Malawi , Mozambique , Zambia and Zimbabwe . Notes: Given the presence of several D . cruciata -like species in eastern Africa it is likely that the type series represents more than one species. The various species with a pruinose cross on the scutellum can be distinguished by the shape of the surstyli and by subtle differences in wing pattern.
