Daptolestes bronteflavus has wings marked on the foreborder, the mystax bristles (‘moustache’) entirely black, and the basal half of all tibiae yellow. Until the recent revision of species of Daptolestes all with wing markings and tibiae with yellow markings were placed in D. limbipennis, however this species has the mystax bristles white.
