External morphology

Size 16.8 mm x 20.2 mm

Species found hidden in small sealed cardboard boxes, clutched to miniature bags of Yamazake bread (see Fig. 5). Described by micropanid scholar N.Juju as a “miniaturized D. wangi.” Despite its morphological similarities to D. wangi, this archignathid has a decidedly sturdier integument, possibly as a defense due to its small size. It is thought that D. kogata my react poorly to any attempts from determined ailurophiles who desire to fold it into a kitten-like shape. Type specimen also is notable in its heterogeneous surface; one side is polished smooth, while the other has a rougher texture. Specimen courtesy of occlupanologist D. Mendoza.
