The internal sacs in the male types of D. viridifasciata and D. duplicata show no significant differences in the armament (Figs 60–62, 65–67). The maculae on the D. duplicata elytra are homologous to the reduced bands in D. viridifasciata. There are no substantial differences in the body shape and other morphological characters between the two taxa. Their ranges overlap considerably. Therefore, we treat D. duplicata as a synonym of D. viridifasciata.
