Diagnostic description.

Anteromesoscutum punctures less coarse on posterior 0.3–0.4; propodeum areola complete; propodeum mostly smooth, with few areas between carinae with some striation; T 1 mostly parallel-sided but slightly broadening near posterior margin; T 1 mostly sculptured on posterior 0.5; T 2 smooth but with scattered punctures near margins, sometimes with stronger sculpture; tegula and humeral complex brown; pedicel, most of mesofemur and longitudinal band on mesosternum yellow to yellow-brown; pro- and mesocoxae yellow-brown to brown; metacoxa brown to dark brown; mesofemur and most of metatibia (except for anterior 0.3–0.4 yellow) brown to dark brown; body length and fore wing length: 2.40–2.60 mm. Among species with smooth T 2, D. sarahoconnorae can be distinguished by T 1 sculpture, propodeum sculpture and carination pattern, body size, and color pattern (especially pedicel, mesosternum, and legs).
