It was described in 2023 based on a single male specimen caught in arid areas of south-eastern Iran.

[2] The only specimen of Dasypoda delectabilis known to date is the male holotype used to describe the species.

The specimen was caught in xeric areas of the Sistan and Baluchestan province in south-eastern Iran.

After its description at the University of Mons, the holotype was sent to the Naturalis Biodiversity Center, in The Netherlands where it is now hosted.

[1] The unique combination of morphological features (unknown in any other species[4][5][7][8]) displayed by the male holotype led the authors of the description to name the species the delightful (in latin delectabilis) pantaloon bee, as a reminder of the feeling of delight when observing the specimen for the first time.
