Diagnostic description.

T 1 length medially ~ 3.0 × its width at posterior margin; T 2 more or less trapezoidal in shape; T 2 sculptured ~ margins, centrally smooth; hypopygium with single, small pleat; ovipositor sheath <0.5 × metatibia length; all coxae brown to dark brown; metafemur entirely to mostly yellow (at most with darker spot on posterior 0.3 or less); body length: 2.28 mm; fore wing length: 2.56 mm. Among all species with dark coxae and T 2 at least partially smooth, D. angelsolisi can be distinguished by its almost unpleated hypopygium and short ovipositor sheath. Another species, D. bernardoespinozai , is very similar and we could not find any morphological characters to reliably separate them. However, they can be diagnosed by strong differences in DNA barcodes (almost 10 % base pairs difference between the two species) as well as the fact that they have been found at different elevations and ecosystems (see more details provided under D. bernardoespinozai ).
