Diagnosis. Male. Dark castaneous, nearly black. Mandible with three apical teeth. Clypeus broadly projected forward, median tooth small. Frons coriaceous. Vertex slightly convex, corners angled. Temples paralleled. T2 with subrounded lateral depression, tuft of setae, most lateral one directed outward, distinctly longer than others. Posterior hypopygeal margin strongly concave. Genitalia: paramere with basal half much wider than apical half; aedeagal ventral ramus slightly shorter than dorsal body, laminar, basal half with surface horizontal, wide, apical half with surface vertical, abruptly narrow, apex sharpened; dorsal body with two pairs apical lobes, outer pair with vertical surface, base wide in both lateral and dorsal views, narrowing into apex, apical margin serrated; inner pair membranous, stout and setose. Female unknown.
Variations. Depressions circular; parameral apex narrowing.
Remarks. Twenty-four specimens of D. bicerutus were registered from Espírito Santo (Redighieri & Azevedo, 2006), and we add more 289 new ones. Additionally, we reidentified one specimen previously identified as D. gilvipes by Azevedo (2003) and one specimen previously identified as D. rectilineus by Redighieri & Azevedo (2006) as D. bicerutus.
