Shouldn't D. plumipes male have plume-like thick hairs somewhere in its legs, like its name tells? They don't seem to be present here.

I think Jari has managed to photograph their defining feature edge on so they can't be seen, as in the right leg of this image in the Gallery.

Yes, that is correct. The legs are in bad position so the nice long hairs are not visible. Must be more careful with next pictures so the critical parts are visible Frown

The black stripe on the dorsal surface of the the mid tibia is pretty characteristic for this species even if the plumose mid basitarsus isnt visible.
