Key to the known male Bhutanese Diestramima

1) Male posteromedian projection of 7 th abdominal tergite long covering paraproct from above ( Fig. 6E View FIGURE 6 & Fig. 8E View FIGURE 8 ).......... 2

- Male posteromedian projection of 7 th abdominal tergite short covering only proximal half of paraproct ( Fig. 7E View FIGURE 7 , Fig. 9E View FIGURE 9 & Fig. 12E View FIGURE 12 ).................................................................. ………………………….………….4

2) Male posteromedian projection of 7 th abdominal tergite without prominent formation of lateral ridges (concave) in proximal half surface, apex obtusely rounded with inconspicuous notch; paraproct triangular with a short finger-like projection ( Fig. 8C–E View FIGURE 8 )........................................................................... D. minjiwoonga sp. nov.

- Male posteromedian projection of 7 th abdominal tergite rather high with lateral ridges in proximal half, apex distinctly notched ( Fig. 6E View FIGURE 6 , Fig. 10E View FIGURE 10 , & Fig. 11A View FIGURE 11 ); paraproct long and finger-like projection in distal half ( Fig. 6C View FIGURE 6 , Fig. 10C View FIGURE 10 , & Fig. 11C View FIGURE 11 ).... 3

3) Male posteromedian projection of 7 th abdominal tergite gradually narrowing with distinct expanded notched apex; paraproct long with finger-like projection in distal half ( Fig. 6C–E View FIGURE 6 ).............................. D. tsongkhapa ( Würmli, 1973) View in CoL

- Male posteromedian projection of 7 th abdominal tergite long, obviously surpassing paraproct, parallel from both sides, almost flat and curved downwards in distal half with apex curved inwards and acutely notched ( Fig. 10C–F View FIGURE 10 & Fig. 11B–C View FIGURE 11 ).......................................................................................... D. phubdorjia sp. nov.

4) Male posteromedian projection of 7 th abdominal tergite straight and flat but shallowly grooved from dorsomedial until apex, almost parallel lateral edges and truncate with small notch at median part of apex ( Fig. 12B–C View FIGURE 12 )....... D. samkhara sp. nov.

- Male posteromedian projection of 7 th abdominal tergite high and slightly curved gradually narrowing towards apex ( Fig. 7E View FIGURE 7 & 9E View FIGURE 9 )................................................................................................ 5

5) Male posteromedian projection of 7 th abdominal tergite very short not extending beyond tenth tergite, gradually narrowing, truncate or slightly convex apex ( Fig. 7B–D View FIGURE 7 ). Adult female larger than adult male................ D. matermagna sp. nov.

- Male posteromedian projection of 7 th abdominal tergite short covering proximal half of paraproct, narrowing to form almost parallel edges towards apex, truncate apex with slightly bent downwards ( Fig. 9B–E View FIGURE 9 ). Superior prolateral and retrolateral edges of hind tibiae bear>50 minute spines.................................................. D. multidenticuli sp. nov.
