Anal tube (Fig. 33) nearly square in dorsal view, slightly wider at base than apex, apical margin with a wide angular depression medially, anal style long, apical margin rounded and convex, obviously extending out apical margin of anal tube. Aedeagus (Figs 38, 39), asymmetrical bilaterally, tubular, membranous, divided into 4 lobes at apex; in ventral view, ventral lobe shorter than dorsal lobe, apical margin angular concave medially, lateral margins serrated, with 7–8 dentate spikes, with a small straight process in the middle toward the base; in dorsal view, right and left dorsal lobes of phallobase separated, apical margins obtuse rounded, each with a row of serrate spines from middle to base, lateral margin of right dorsal lobe with a triangular process medially. Gonostyli (Figs 34, 35) bow-shaped, apex rounded and convex; in ventral view, outer margin of distal half with single, large, hornlike process; in dorsal view, distal half of dorsal margin bearing 1 pointed dentate process oriented inward, middle area with 1 twisted broad enlarged process oriented outward, basal side with an obtuse angular process, outer side with a fingerlike process.</p> <p>Remarks. Chou &amp; Wang (in Chou et al., 1985) described the D. acuminata based on one male specimen from Xinglong, Hainan province, China. In our study we examined topotypic material (20 male specimens) which we identified as D. acuminata based on external morphological characteristics which according to the original description appear completely congruent to those of D. acuminata.</p> <p>Distribution. China (Hainan) (Fig. 40).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03BD87EEFFE5FFD7FF780385C993F954	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
