Differentiated from D. multispinosus by having thorax and legs entirely dark brown to blackish with a tinge of rufous in ground colour, rather than predominantly yellow to rufous, and by having only 4 spines in set at middle of front tibia, rather than 5-6. Also, wings more intensely blackish fumose in D.atripennis. Readily differentiated from all other known Australian Dilophus by the blackish wings and larger size.
