Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species Author Bückle, Christoph Author Guglielmino, Adalgisa 0000-0002-2541-5240 guglielm@unitus.it text Zootaxa 2022 2022-03-09 5112 1 1 116 http://zoobank.org/c2750d92-315a-431f-bceb-3e20ecd03ea0 journal article 111395 10.11646/zootaxa.5112.1.1 a06d0e06-3ed0-43e8-8a95-1662c2b1685c 1175-5326 6340589 C2750D92-315A-431F-BCEB-3E20ECD03EA0 Doratura horvathi Wagner, 1939 ( Figs 34I ; 40B ; 41G–L ) Doratura horvathi Wagner, 1939: 156 Diagnosis. The species has some characters in common with the D. stylata group: The vertex displays (in dark specimens) an intermediate transverse row of markings (similar to D. stylata ), the aedeagus ( Figs 41G, H ) is smooth, distad narrowing with apical hook, and provided with a basal shield. The hind margin of the female pregenital sternite ( Fig. 34I ) is straight or at most slightly convex. The connective is slightly longer than in D. stylata , its branched portion distinctly longer than the basal one, the bifurcation rather narrow. The pygofer displays about 3–4 macrosetae in its dorso-caudal portion. The styles ( Fig. 41I ), however, are not geniculate, but equally curved with acuminate tooth at mid-length and equally narrowing apical portion. The long, apically rounded genital plates ( Figs 41K, L ), which protrude beyond the pygofer apex, form an exclusive character. Distribution ( Figs 57 , 62B ). We studied specimens from Austria and Germany . In addition, there are records for Czech Republic ( Lauterer, 1984 ), Poland ( Dworakowska, 1968 ), and Slovakia ( Lauterer, 1984 ). The record in Metcalf for the Netherlands , based on Reclaire (1944) is erroneous. Reclaire’s record refers to Germany . The species is recorded by Servadei (1967) in Italy from Apulia , Basilicata , and Calabria . We found specimens ( 1 male , 2 females ) from Apulia and Basilicata , inserted in his collection as D. horvathi . These specimens belong to D . butzele . The specimens from M. Manfriana ( Calabria , Monte Pollino) could not be examined. In view of the apparently restricted distribution of D. horvathi in Central Europe with records only from Germany , Austria , Poland , Czech Republic and Slovakia , the presence of D. horvathi in southern Italy is extremely doubtful. Ecology. Helictotrichon pratense is recorded as host plant ( Nickel, 2003 ).
