Antenna with 29 antennomeres. Propodeum "rugosely punctured" (Turner 1922: 280). Black, mesosoma laterally with testaceous pattern. 9 <3 : 4-4.5 mm. - New Zealand D. antipodum TURNER, 1922 2 (1) Mesopleuron polished. Antenna at most with 26 antennomeres. Propodeum rugose. Ground colour of body black, mesopleuron never with testaceous pattern. 3 (4) Temple in dorsal view constricted (Fig. 72), head distinctly punctate. First tergite clearly broadening posteriorly and longitudinally rugo-striated (Fig. 76). Antenna with 22 antennomeres. Head black. 9: 2.7 mm. - Australia (Queensland) D. contractus sp. n. 4 (3) Temple in dorsal view rounded, head polished (Fig. 78) (face with a very fine and disperse punctation). First tergite subparallel-sided, i.e. hardly broadening posteriorly, only medially and rather longitudinally rugose (Fig. 79). Antenna with 26 antennomeres.
