Description (Male). Color. Head dark brown; antenna, thorax, abdomen and hypopygium brown; palpus and legs yellowish-brown; wing fumose. Head (Fig. 9 C, D). Eye bridge with 3 rows of facets. Prefrons with 22 setae. Clypeus with 1 seta. Palpus three-segmented, basal segment with 5–6 setae; 2nd segment with 11–15 setae; 3rd segment with 10–12 setae. Length/width of 4th flagellomere: 2.79–3.59. Thorax. Anterior pronotum with 6–12 setae, episternum 1 with 6–10 setae. Wings (Fig. 10 H). Wing length 2.94–3.82 mm, width/length: 0.32–0.37. c/w: 0.48–0.47. R1/R: 0.72–1.03. Y/X: 1.27–1.80. Y with 0–3 setae, stM with 1–5 setae, M and Cu with numerous setae. Legs. Fore tibia with a comb of 7–9 setae (Fig. 9 E). Length of spur/width of 1.59–2.03. Length of femur/ length of metatarsus: foreleg 0.81–0.87. Length of metatarsus/length of tibia: foreleg 0.75–0.77, hind leg 0.53– 0.61. Length of hind tibia/length of thorax 2.00–2.22. Fore tibia with 1 dorsal, 7–10 ventral, 3–11 prolateral and 4– 7 retrolateral spinose setae. Tarsal claws with large teeth. Hypopygium (Fig. 9 A, B). Gonocoxite slightly longer than gonostylus. Ventral setosity of gonocoxite dense, 2–3 setae at the apicoventral corner greatly elongated, setosity sparse on intercoxal area of hypopygium. Gonostylus slender, with a sightly inflated apex, setosity dense at apex, with five apicomesial megasetae. Tegmen wider than long. Sternite 10 with 1–2 setae on each half. N = 6 for all measurements.
Distribution. China (Zhejiang, Fig. 11).
Remarks. By the form of hypopygium, the new species is similar to D. flavipes (Meigen, 1804). But it differs in having the setosity sparser on the 4th flagellomere, y/x: 1.27–1.80 and a few setae on the intercoxal area on the hypopygium instead of an intercoxal lobe, while the setosity dense on the 4th flagellomere, y/x:> 2 and a small intercoxal lobe on the hypopygium in D. flavipes (Meigen, 1804).
Etymology. This species is named after its type locality, Mt. Qingliangfeng at Zhejiang province, China.
