Metasomal sternites and genitalia of D. nigripodus sp. n. , paratype, male from Namakusa-dani. 15.

Scale bars = 0.1 mm except for 15 = 1.0 mm. Remarks. This species resembles the European species, D. variegatus , the type species of the genus, and the differences are very small, but it is distinguished by coloration; often pale spots on the face of females reduced or absent (in D. variegatus usually distinct), scutellum and teeth on propodeum often uniformly black (in D. variegatus , usually white or whitish yellow), and all femora and tibiae almost uniformly black (in D. variegatus , although often hind tibiae and apical 1/3 of hind femora becoming black, usually all femora and tibiae mostly reddish brown to orange). In addition, the propodeum in profile is rather long and basal area is not clearly depressed (in D. variegatus , propodeum in profile shorter and basal area considerably depressed), and bending angle of T1 is a little more acute than in D. variegatus , are useful to distinguish the two species.
