Thompson ), deposited in QMB ( S28741 ) . ETYMOLOGY: The specific name is a noun in apposition taken from the type locality. DIAGNOSIS: Males can easily be recognized by the relatively long retrolateral tibial apophysis, which has two subdistal protuberances (fig. 228), females by the relatively long median epigynal ducts, which have a pair of anterior protuberances (fig. 230). MALE: Total length 5.2. Coloration as in D. malbon . Leg spination: tibiae: III v1p­1p­ 2; IV v2­2­2, r0­1­1; metatarsi: III v2­0­1p; IV v2­2­2, r0­1­0. Retrolateral tibial apophysis relatively long, with two subdistal protuberances, paracymbial apophysis oblique (fig. 228); tip of terminal apophysis directed obliquely, retroventrally (fig. 227). FEMALE: Total length 6.2. Coloration as in male. Leg spination: tibiae: III v2­2­2; IV v2­2­2, r0­1­1; metatarsi: III v2­0­2; IV v2­ 2­2, r0­1­0. Anterior epigynal margin wide (fig. 229); median epigynal ducts very long, with anterior protuberances (fig. 230).
