Male terminalia.
The aedeagus of this species is very similar to that of
D. sturtevanti
(
Fig. 9A–C
), however, the striking characteristic that differs it from the other species is the relatively short aedeagal apex (
Fig. 9B, C
). In addition to this, the lower base of the aedeagus has a less pronounced projection than that of
D. sturtevanti
(
Fig. 9B
).
