Diagnosis: The female is similar to D. patellabifidus Wang 2003 in lacking epigynal teeth and having broad spermathecae, but can be recognized by the absence of atrial ridges and the posteriorly broad, anteriorly less broad, diverging spermathecae (Figs 104, 109-120). The male can be easily recognized by the long patellar apophysis (longer than patellar length), the simple median apophysis, the bifurcate conductor, and the prolaterally originating embolus (Figs 99-101).
Description: See Wang (2003). Photos of habitus, eyes, labium and genitalia are provided in this study (Figs 99-120).
Distribution: China (Yunnan: Lushui, Fugong, Gongshan) (Fig. 537).
