Similar in colour and markings to D. erythrurus but smaller and less elongate in shape.
The type material on which Blackburn 1800 based his description was 'taken by Mr. Jung on Yorke's Peninsula'. This undoubtedly refers to August Jung (1845-1927) a german immigrant who took up land near Yorketown in 1871 and was a keen naturalist and collector of insects (The Register , Adelaide, 11 October 1927, p. 8g). In the same year that Blackburn published this species, A. Jung of Sunbury, near Yorketown, is reported in The Pioneer, 2 Jun 1899, p. 2, as donating a collection of 25 cockroaches to the SA Museum.

Blackburn 1899 noted that 'Mr Jung informs me that the present insect and D. erythrurus feed on different plants'.
