Diagnosis.
See diagnosis under
D. nodosa
.
Remarks.
This species is very close to
D. nodosa
and perhaps representative of just a local form. Unfortunately, both species are known only from the
types
, thus it is very difficult to evaluate them. Until we have an opportunity to study more material, we will leave
D. rufomarginata
as a valid species close to
D. nodosa
. It is also uncertain whether the specimen was actually collected in
Brazil
or was mislabeled.
Distribution.
Brazil

Wagener 1881
).
