Type locality. Taiwan , Pingtung County , Machia. Material examined. TAIWAN : NANTOU COUNTY: Nanshanshi , Renai Township , 1.vi.1973 , 1J, unknown collector ( EUMJ ) ; Shihtyutou , Renai Township , 10–13.vi.1995 , 1 J, Y. Arita leg ( EUMJ ) . KAOHSIUNG COUNTY: Shanping , Maolin Township , 4.iv.1976 , 1 J, K. Ushijima leg. ( EUMJ ) ; Shihnanshan , near Liukuei , 12.v.1991 , 1 J, W. Chen leg. ( NHMI ) . Differential diagnosis. This species is similar to D. yonaguniensis sp. nov. and D. kitamurai , but is distinguished by the following characters: elytra orange, widest before apex; elytral striae extended to apex; pygidium rather wide; apical margin of sternite VIII incised in middle in males. Supplementary description. Male ( Fig. 2 ). For full descriptions see YANG & YANG (2013) . Approximate length ratio of antennomeres (n = 1): 5.6: 1.0: 6.3: 5.8: 5.6: 5.6: 5.6: 5.4: 5.2: 4.8: 12.5. Relative length ratio of rami of antennomeres III–X (n = 1): 1.1: 1.4: 1.5: 1.3: 1.2: 1.2: 1.2: 1.0.

Unguis with basal denticles; metatibiae apically dilated to near apex, thence weakly narrowed towards apex, densely covered with pubescence on posterior inner surface, latter concave but flattened. Pygidium ( Fig. 26 ) rounded posteriorly; pygidial struts stout, distally extended. Sternite VIII ( Fig. 32 ) weakly pigmented in central portion, slightly incised on apical margin. Spicular fork ( Fig. 38 ) with intraspicular plate. Connecting membrane between tegmen and phallus in fully extended condition (Figs 45–46) vested with fine spins; tegmen shorter than phallus; phallobase membranous in ventral view; phallobasic struts present; phallobasic apodeme elongate, rounded at apex; phallus divaricate in apical 1/4, dorsally with median orifice, roundly pointed at apex. Female . Unknown. Distribution. Taiwan : Nantou Co. and Pingtung Co. ( YANG & YANG 2013 ); Kaohsiung Co. (present paper) ( Fig. 61 ).
