Etymology.
The specific epithet is taken from the Latin adjective ‘

’, referring to the transparent median apophysis in the new species.
Diagnosis.
The new species is similar to
D. clavellatus
sp. nov.
, but can be distinguished from the latter by the transparent median apophysis and almost rectangle-shaped embolus base (
