I think D. laticaudus, using the new Locke and Skevington key (Zootaxa 3660, 2013).

The maculae on tergites 3-4 appear to not reach the edge of the abdomen, which rules out limatus, the intrudens species complex, and venustus. D. amalopis also shows up in NH, but has strongly constricted maculae on tergites 3-4 instead of the regular maculae shown here.
