Habitat This species is known only from a narrow distribution range in Phanom district. D. corythosaurus sp. n. was considered to be endemic for Surat Thani Province, Thailand. [details]
Remark The shape of the sternal lobe between male coxae 4 is variable: the tip is emarginate in the populations from Wat Tham Wararam and Tham Nam Lod, whereas specimens from the type locality have a truncate tip. The new species shares a similar shape of gonopodal solenophore with D. terae [details]
