Diagnosis
A distinctive morphological structure of
D. bavarica
sp. nov.
is the tegmen: its sclerotization is stronger than usually found in this genus and the construction includes unusual details, such as a pair of large, subtriangular outgrowths ventrobasally (↓
1
,
Fig. 18B
) and a pair of tiny spikes subapically (↓
2
,
Fig. 18B
). Larvae and females of the new species are unknown.
Etymology
The specific epithet is derived from
Bavaria
, the federal state where the
holotype
specimen was collected.

Other characters

BODY
LENGTH
.
1.5 mm

HEAD
. Eye bridge dorsally 4‒5 ommatidia long. Antenna slightly longer than body; circumfila present on flagellomeres 1‒8; neck of fourth flagellomere 1.4× as long as node (
Fig. 18C
). Palpus 4-segmented, about as long as head height.
THORAX
. Anepisternum with 1 seta.
WING
. About as long as body. Length / width ratio 2.7.
LEGS
. Acropods, to assess structure of claws and empodia, not retained.
TERMINALIA
. Gonocoxal synsclerite broader than long, without separate narrow portion at base; ventroanterior margin clearly contoured, even slightly reinforced, which is unusual in
Divellepidosis
; ventral emargination small, broadly U-shaped, with broad sclerotized margin; protuberances small, abruptly protruding, each with 2 large setae (↓

,
Fig. 18A
); processes large, thin-membranous, glabrous (↓
4
); dorsoposterior portions protruding beyond ventroposterior portions. Gonostylus (
Fig. 18A
) tapered towards apex, with at least 3 plate-like teeth apically, ventralmost largest, inside with 1 long subapical bristle. Aedeagal apodeme (
Fig. 18A
) markedly longer than gonocoxae, moderately sclerotized, pointed apically. Membranous portions of aedeagus extensive (indicated in
Fig. 18A‒B
).
