Notes.
The species can be easily recognized among the members of the complex by its bicolored femora. It can also be distinguished from other spotted species of the complex by the larger punctures of the head and smaller elytra spots. It can be distinguished from
D. luteoguttatus
and
D. rimosipennis
by the deeply concave median portion of the interocular area and larger eyes. The species is new to
Xizang
.
