A set of characters of diagnostic value: mouthparts, hind wing venation, binding patch, metendosternite, and details of male and female genitalia previously overlooked in the genus was provided. In addition to the morphological characterization, the molecular analyses of the COI mitochondrial gene and the ITS-1 rDNA nuclear region were included. The analysis of the ITS-1 nuclear region alone suggests proximity of D. wartensis to the Diabrotica fucata group, whereas molecular evidence based on combined analysis of COI and ITS-1 region suggest that this new species is distantly related to the Diabroticina with known sequences deposited in the GenBank.  aEntomology  aEntomologia  aLarva-alfinete1 aSOSA-GOMEZ, D.
