DESCRIPTION — MALE: Body length 1.7 mm . Head, mesosoma and metasoma castaneous. Head (Figure 63). Mandible with four apical teeth. Clypeus with median lobe ill-defined; median tooth angled; median carina absent. Frons weakly coriaceous. Mesosoma. Pronotal disc with anterior margin ecarinate, weakly coriaceous. Metapectal-propodeal complex with lateral and posterior areas ecarinate. Metasoma (Figure 159). Tergal process with shallow, longitudinally elliptical and sublateral pair of depression, 0.65 x as long as tergite II, diverging posterad, with very long and thick setae on lateral area; each depression with large tubercle on its inner area, conical in longitudinal section, high, entirely laterad, with broad pit on top, with long tuft of setae laterad. Hypopygium (Figure 250) with median stalk 1.0 x as long as hypopygial plate; lateral stalk triangular; posterior margin strongly concave. Genitalia (Figures 470-471). Basal margin of paramere with subangled projection. Aedeagal dorsal body with apex as high as parameral apex, wider medially, narrowing pro- FIGURES 410-424 Male genitalia. 410-412 , D.maleo n. sp. 410 , dorsal view. 411 , ventral view. 412 , apex of aedeagal dorsal body in ventral view. 413-416 , D. mama n. sp. 413 , dorsal view. 414 , ventral view. 415 , aedeagal dorsal body in lateral view. 416 , paramere in lateral view. 417-421 , D.mambu n. sp. 417 , dorsal view. 418 , ventral view. 419-420 , apex of aedeagal dorsal body. 419 , ventral view. 420 , lateral view. 421 , apex of aedeagal ventral ramus in lateral view. 422-424 , D. mami n. sp. 422 , dorsal view. 423 , ventral view. 424 , apex of aedeagal dorsal body in latero-dorsal view.Scale bars 125 µm,except 412,419-420,424 - 62 µm.
