Cleared and stained specimens (scale bar 0.1 mm), males, left column from top: D. dracula, BMNH 2008.1.1.100–119, 16.2 mm; D. priapus, BMNH 2009.9.9.38–43, 16.5 mm; D. translucida, MTD 39992, 9.8 mm; D. mirifica, USNM 372848, 13.2 mm; D. cerebrum, MTD 39986, 11.7 mm; black arrowheads mark connection between lateral process and outer arm of os suspensorium, black stars mark connecting flanges between inner and outer arms of os suspensorium, and red arrows marks posterior extension of inner arm of os suspensorium covering swimbladder dorsally. Females, right column from top: D. dracula, BMNH 2008.1.1.100–119, 14.7 mm; D. priapus, BMNH 2009.9.9.38–43, 14.8 mm; D. translucida, MTD 39992, 11.2 mm; D. mirifica, USNM 372848, 13.2 mm, D. cerebrum, MTD 39986, 11.7 mm.
