Based on the original descriptions and examination of the holotype of D. spirallus, they are similar in habitus and structure of the female genitalia (small epigynal teeth, widely separated from atrium; atrium small, situated posteriorly; copulatory ducts large, initially longated longitudinally then highly convoluted laterally; spermathecae global, widely separated from each other).
