1 Females
............................................................................................. 2

Fig. 32
)..........................
D. tavakolii
4 Pedicel and scape 1.5–1.7 times broader than flagellomeres (
Fig. 15
); all flagellomeres nearly of the same width; scutellar foveae subtriangular, separated by median carina wider and shorter, with diverging sides, this short median carina occupies 1/8 of mesoscutellum length (

)..........................................................
D. destefanii
n. sp.
- Pedicel and scape at least 2.2–2.5 times broader than flagellomeres; flagellomeres towards the apex broadened, F8–F12 at least 2.0 times as broad as preceding flagellomeres (
Fig. 30
); scutellar foveae subquadrangular, separated by distinct narrow median carina with non diverging sides, this long median carina occupies 1/4 of mesoscutellum length (
