A31187DAFF8A8F4DFF29FE82FC0C4D48.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Due to similar forewing pattern, this species resembles the preceding new species, D. ghanaensis sp. nov., but it can be distinguished by the forewing postmedian band which is less broadened anteriorly than in D. ghanaensis sp. nov., and the hind wing with differently developed CuP as noted in the following description. The male genitalia can be distinguished from the latter by the basal plate of the gnathos which is truncated apically, whereas in the latter it is pentagonal; valva more elongate, juxta with nearly straight caudal margin.	en	Park, Kyu-Tek, Koo, Jun-Mo, Agassiz, David J.
