Abdomen dark brown with black hairs. Spermatheca (fig. 9, /) heavily chitinised, somewhat reniform, the anterior portion ovoid (length 46/u, breadth 49/"), the posterior portion (length 18/1) narrower and sharply curved. Hypopygium (fig. 5). Ninth segment: tergite broad, slightly tapering posteriorly and bearmg a few moderately long hairs dorsally, posterior margin without a central notch and with the lateral finger-like processes small, apical lobe-like processes well. Fig. 5. D. fusciscutellata, , male hypopygium (ventral view). X 400 circa. developed and with a median triangular dorsal chitinised plate between them; sternite with a somewhat rectangular median posterior projection. Forceps: side-pieces strongly chitinised, with long hairs; well chitinised, the basal halves pubescent and bearing one or two relatively stout hairs, the distal extremities slightly depressed. Harfes: basal portions strongly chitinised, broad laterally, narrowing towards the middle line; from the left basal portion a feebly chitinised, slightly curved, pointed, blade-like process projects posteriorly as far as the middle of the side-pieces. Aedoeagus : median transverse basal portion not very broad, heavily chitinised and slightly twisted and bevelled laterall}-, lateral portion.
