Maybe I am wrong, but the darkening at the costal break is barely visible, it may be an artifact of the photo - a similar "darkening" can be seen at the basalmost break of costa. Concerning the lateral pale patches on abdomen, they look more like in D. mercatorum (larger than in D. repleta, not vice versa). Moreover, procoxa does not seem to be dark, contrary to D. repleta. If I should have to give an opinion, D. mercatorum seems me relatively most probable candidate, but it seems me too courrageous statement - on the base of only this picture.
