I didn't realize DD50 isn't two rows.  Interesting.

Ok, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-subminiature has more.  Apparently there are three flavors: normal density (2 rows except for DD), high density (3 rows except for DD which has four) and "double density" -- like high density but with more pins in each row.

And the table shows Adam's connector, a DB-52 in the double density series.
