039C8791BF78157BE8B88501BFDD3762.taxon	description	Description. Vertex in lateral view with anterior margin sharply edged (also in nymphs), in dorsal view slightly or distinctly longer in the middle than near the eyes, equally rounded or sub-triangularly protruding. Length of pronotum largely equal over its whole width with lateral, ventrad bent portion only slightly shorter. Forewings generally short, in most cases somewhat or distinctly longer than wide; hind margin sub-truncated with inner angle rounded. Females with distinctly or strongly protruding ovipositor. Body length about 2.5 – 4.2 mm in males, 3.5 – 6 mm in females. Vertex impressed in the middle immediately behind anterior margin, shiny; pronotum shiny in anterior half, transversely rugose in posterior half; scutellum opaque with very fine microgranules; wings shiny with irregular rows of indistinct punctures bearing very small hairs, veins ± indistinct, with transverse row of more distinct little cells along hind margin; abdomen opaque due to very fine microreticulation. Coloration. Basic colour pale yellow-brown. Forewings ± hyaline, or in many cases green, more rarely light blue, in both cases with metallic tinge (well visible in living specimens, often indistinct in dried material). Face with two black transverse bands, upper one near vertex extending onto temples, lower one extending from frontoclypeus under eyes and continuing often onto prothorax. Anteclypeus often in part or completely black, lora often with black areas. Vertex generally with five spots along anterior margin, in dark specimens sometimes extending to upper portion of face; central spot about quadrangular and distinct, on each side accompanied by other spot at mid-length between central spot and ocelli, and lateral very small spot representing dark basal pigmentation of ocelli; at about mid-length of vertex pair of transverse markings, present only in some species and often lacking or indistinct; near hind margin of vertex third row of markings, consisting sometimes in small lateral spots, and often in two central longitudinal narrow stripes, in dark specimens fused to one about quadrangular marking. Pronotum sometimes with brown indistinctly delimited longitudinal sagittal band continuing onto scutellum; forewings ± hyaline or with some brown marking, especially near posterior margin and along clavus border, lateral margins generally whitish. First tergites of abdomen covered by wings, completely or in part black, following free tergites with light sagittal middle line between pair of brown stripes often covered by dark spots; laterally on each side two other brown stripes with or without dark spots; between lateral and median stripes often further row of ± distinct dark spots. Thorax ventrally often partly or completely black, abdominal sternites ± black, often except for hind margins and lateral parts. Legs light, femora above all in basal part with dark areas and near apex with annular marking, tibia with longitudinal markings, apical part of hind legs and base of macrosetae on hind tibia dark. Males generally with black roughly quadrangular or drop-shaped spot on dorsal side of pygofer and rounded black spot on each side of pygofer. Females with rounded black spot on pregenital tergite and ± extended black longitudinal line on pygofer. All dark markings are often reduced or completely lacking, especially in females, among which totally light specimens occur. On the other side, normally isolated black markings may fuse in dark specimens, resulting in an almost completely black face and vertex, or continuous black bands on the abdomen. Male genitalia. Pygofer with two to more than ten macrosetae in dorso-caudal region, sometimes concentrated in irregular comb-like row, and field of distinct robust ± dense setae along caudal margin (Fig. 3). Genital valve distinctly shorter than genital plates, in the middle more than two times longer than in its lateral area, hind margin with lateral part oblique, almost straight, and median part convex, widely rounded. Genital plates moderately long, ventrally with macrosetae distributed in irregular rows or completely irregular; apical margins medially and / or laterally rounded or ± angular; lateral margin somewhat convex, straight, or distinctly sinuate (Fig. 1 D). Aedeagus with elongate shaft, and basal socle; articulation between shaft and socle generally flexible (Fig. 10 B); socle sometimes high and well developed, sometimes low, in few species very flat and fused with shaft (Fig. 37 A). Styles generally very elongate, curved laterad, and narrowing towards their apex beyond denticle (Fig. 1 E), in few cases rather robust, equally in width (Figs 28 H, K), extending along median border of genital plates; denticle directed mediad or ± ventrad in position somewhat proximal or distal from mid-length, rarely near apex.

039C8791BF78157BE8B88501BFDD3762.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The ovipositor valvulae display the features typical for Chiasmini, as described by Zahniser & Dietrich (2013) (see also Zahniser, 2008: figs 9 – 12, 25 – 28, 82 – 85, and Zahniser & Dietrich, 2008: figs 5 h, 8 b). We also studied the morphology of the ovipositor base (Fig. 1 F), which provides in some other genera of Deltocephalinae, e. g. Cicadula Zetterstedt, 1840 (see Remane & Fründ, 1986), Jassargus Zachvatkin, 1934 (see Schulz, 1976), and Paraphlepsius (see Hamilton, 1975) useful characters for species discrimination. However, in the genus Doratura this structure displays apparently only slight variations among different species and even species groups. Variability of coloration in the adults (Figs 22 A, D). As the intensity of coloration is highly variable, the pattern of dark markings furnishes only in a few cases reliable characters for species discrimination. On the one side, specimens nearly devoid of any dark markings occur, on the other there are specimens with very extended and confluent markings, for example with a completely dark face. Often, but not always, dark specimens are found in mountain areas rather than at lowland sites; they are particularly frequent in the cold steppes of Central Asia as well. Similarly, adults deriving from nymphs that developed under short day conditions are generally darker than other ones developed during the summer months, with possible differences in the coloration between the two generations of bivoltine taxa. Moreover, even in specimens with medium extended markings, their shape and position may vary to a high degree. Juvenile stages. In some taxa, the nymphs (at least their fifth instar) display important coloration features (see Stöckmann et al., 2013). D. stylata (Fig. 9 A), for instance, is easily distinguishable in its juvenile stage from D. exilis (Fig. 9 B) and D. impudica (Fig. 9 I), the latter two taxa often occurring together with the former one. These characters have been confirmed for populations in the Mediterranean area. Variability of coloration in the nymphs. Among nymphs of the same species, specimens occur with very distinct markings (Fig. 9 G) together with others which display an almost homogeneous light yellowish coloration in which the pattern of markings is not easy to discern (Fig. 9 E). For example, specimens of D. butzele Guglielmino & Bückle, 2021 and D. paludosa with only indistinct markings were observed in several cases. We do not know whether such pale nymphs develop later to equally pale adults, as are observed in several Doratura species (particularly D. homophyla).	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF77157CE8B886D9BF2F3636.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species has an almost completely smooth aedeagus (generally, but not always, there are tiny spinules on its medio-ventral area) with a proximal shield like base (Figs 10 A – G), geniculate styles (Figs 11 A – C) with long apical portion of apophyse and needle-shaped tip, pygofer (Fig. 3 A) with generally 3 – 4 macrosetae, connective (Fig. 2 A) with branched part longer than basal portion and rounded bifurcation, and the female pregenital sternite with straight hind margin, in most cases with the median portion slightly protruding caudad (Fig. 19 A). In all these characters, the species displays a distinct affinity to D. exilis and D. impudica. From the first species it can be distinguished by its proportionally longer fore wings and in many cases by its different coloration with fore wings with green tinge and different pattern of markings on vertex and pronotum (see below), from the latter by the proportionally shorter hind tibiae, in most cases from both species by its slightly scabrous medio-ventral margin of aedeagus. The nymphs (Fig. 9 A) display a dark abdomen with light areas laterally on tergite V and VI (often confluent to a continuous transverse light band) and in the sagittal line of the apex (in D. exilis abdomen with longitudinal dark stripes, in D. impudica without markings) (see Stöckmann et al. 2013).	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF77157CE8B886D9BF2F3636.taxon	distribution	Distribution (Figs 53, 56, 57). In Italy, we found this species at many sites from Friuli-Venezia Giulia until Calabria. We studied material also from Piedmont and Veneto. Remane & Hellrigl (1996) record the species from Alto Adige, Servadei (1973) from Lombardy. Doratura stylata is apparently not present in Sardinia and Sicily. Outside of Italy, D. stylata has a vast distribution in most parts of the Palearctic region (Metcalf, 1967; Nast, 1972, 1987), and is present in the Nearctic region as well (apparently introduced, see Hamilton, 1983). We examined material from Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Montenegro, Romania, Russia (Altai), Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Tunisia (a series of specimens collected by O. Schmiedeknecht and published by Melichar, 1899), Turkey, Ukraine, and Canada. In addition, there are records from Algeria (Oshanin, 1906); Belarus (Borodin, 2004); Belgium (Van Stalle, 1989); China: Beijing, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Shandong, Xinjiang (Duan & Zhang, 2012); Denmark (Ossiannilsson, 1983); Estonia (Söderman et al., 2009); Finland (Ossiannilsson, 1983); Georgia (Dlabola, 1958); Greece (Drosopoulos et al., 1986); Great Britain (Le Quesne, 1969); Hungary (Győrffy et al., 2009); Iran: East Azerbaijan Province (Abdollahi et al., 2015); Kyrgyzstan (Novikov et al., 2006); Latvia (Vilbaste, 1974); Lithuania (Vilbaste, 1974); Luxembourg (Niedringhaus et al., 2010); Netherlands (Reclaire, 1944); Norway (Ossiannilsson, 1983); Poland (Dworakowska, 1968); Portugal (Quartau & Duarte Rodrigues, 1969); Russia: European part (Emeljanov, 1964), Maritime Territory (Vilbaste, 1968), Siberia (Anufriev, 2016); Sweden (Ossiannilsson, 1983); Switzerland (Mühlethaler et al., 2017); Turkey: Anatolia (Kalkandelen, 1974), Black Sea (Zeybekoğlu, 1998); Uzbekistan (Dubovsky, 1965); United States (Hamilton, 1983). Records of D. stylata for “ North Africa ” by Holgersen (1944), and later by Ossiannilsson (1951) and Ribaut (1952) are apparently based on former records for Tunisia and Algeria (for example Oshanin, 1906). (A generic record like “ North Africa ” is sometimes documented as if concerning each single country belonging to North Africa, and in consequence the species is recorded for every country from West Sahara to Sudan, even though no records exist for most of these countries).	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF77157CE8B886D9BF2F3636.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Ribaut (1952) indicates as a diagnostic character of D. stylata the “ papilleuse ” ventral side of the aedeagus (Fig. 10 C). Dworakowska (1968) observed a distinct variability in this character. Indeed, in Italy and in Germany, D. stylata specimens with a completely smooth aedeagus are observed (Fig. 10 B). We never found, however, a “ papilleuse ” ventral aedeagus side in D. exilis or D. impudica. Thus, among these three species, the presence of this structure of the aedeagus surface is a sufficient, but not a necessary condition for the identification of a specimen as D. stylata.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

In Italy, our lowest collection sites are at about 250 m in Piedmont and 400 m in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, at 450 m in the Northern Apennines, at 800 m in the Central Apennines and at 1300 m in the Southern Apennines. Most of the localities are at medium and high altitude between 1000 – 1800 m, sometimes up to more than 2000 m. On the Balkan Peninsula the species is equally distributed from lowland sites until at least 2000 m. The habitats are open areas, in the Northern Apennines also dry riverbeds, but normally moderately dry open pastures and dry to slightly humid meadows. The host plants belong apparently to several genera of fine leaved grasses, for instance Festuca, Agrostis, Poa and Nardus. In particular, Festuca ovina, F. rubra and Agrostis capillaris are recorded (Nickel, 2003). Phenology. We collected this species from the beginning of June until the middle of September; in the literature it is recorded also in May and October (Nickel, 2003). At low altitude, it may have two generations, in mountain regions only one.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF70157EE8B887DEBFC33077.taxon	discussion	Remark 1. In some cases, D. stylata and D. exilis are not easily distinguishable as their morphometric characters may overlap. In populations from the Central Apennines (Italy) and the Peloponnese Peninsula (Greece), for example, frequently specimens occur that display measurements somewhat different in respect of the values indicated in the literature and in our key; the overlapping range with D. stylata becomes in these cases quite wide. Nevertheless, specimens of such populations can generally be distinguished even from small D. stylata specimens using some further characters (in addition to the characters used for the distinction of the two taxa in the identification keys, prevalently morphometric characters: D. exilis is smaller, rather slender, with proportionally short fore wings), even if none of them alone is exclusive for one species or present in each specimen. Such characters concern above all the coloration and the markings. Distinct green coloration of the fore wings is typical for D. stylata, lack of such coloration for D. exilis (no specimen in our D. exilis material had a green tinge on the fore wings, but D. stylata may lack it as well). Brown stripes on the wings, particularly along the border of the clavus are typical for D. exilis but may occur also in D. stylata. The middle row of transverse spots on the vertex is present nearly exclusively in D. stylata (almost never in D. exilis), but may also be absent (above all in females). A brown not exactly delineated central square spot in the middle of the vertex near its hind margin, often divided in two small longitudinal stripes and a poorly defined brown sagittal band on pronotum and / or scutellum are often present in D. exilis (above all in males). In contrast, they are generally absent in D. stylata, and present only in very dark specimens (see also the drawings given in Dworakowska, 1968, and in Biedermann & Niedringhaus, 2004). Of course, the pattern given here for D. exilis can be observed in other taxa as well (for example D. homophyla, or in the D. paludosa group), but these taxa have a very different genital morphology. Remark 2. Servadei (1967) regarded D. exilis as a synonym of D. stylata. Remark 3. Ossiannilsson (1983) mentions that the saw-case of the ovipositor (gonoplac, 3 rd valvula) is comparatively longer in D. exilis than in D. stylata. Similarly, we found the serrated portion of the 2 nd valvula and the number of teeth (Figs 4 A, B) in both species approximately the same though D. exilis is distinctly smaller than D. stylata. In addition, the serrated part of the 2 nd valvula is somewhat slenderer in the former species than in the latter.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

This large species, generally with distinct green or blue tinge in the coloration of its fore wings, is distinguished by proportionally long legs and a strongly protruding ovipositor (Fig. 8). In its male genital morphology, it resembles D. stylata, but never shows spinules on the ventral side of the aedeagus (Fig. 10 M). The nymphs display no particular pattern of markings (Fig. 9 I), in contrast to both D. exilis and D. stylata.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

Servadei records it also from Piedmont and Veneto. Some specimens in his collection were misidentified and belong to D. stylata. The species has never been recorded from Sardinia or Sicily. D. impudica is widely distributed in Europe and the East Palearctic region to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan (Nast, 1972). We studied specimens from Albania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, Ukraine. In addition, there are records for Austria (Holzinger, 2009); Belarus (Borodin, 2004); Bosnia and Herzegovina (Horváth, 1903 b); Denmark (Ossiannilsson, 1983); Estonia (Söderman et al., 2009); France (Ribaut, 1952); Finland (Albrecht et al., 2015); Great Britain (Le Quesne, 1969); Kazakhstan (Mitjaev, 1971); Kyrgyzstan (Dubovsky & Turgunov, 1971); Latvia (Vilbaste, 1974); Lithuania (Vilbaste, 1974); Moldova (Nast, 1987); Poland (Dworakowska, 1968); Russia: European part (Emeljanov, 1964); Serbia (Janković, 1966); Sweden (Ossiannilsson, 1983); Turkey: Central part (Horváth, 1903 b), Eastern Part (Koçak & Kemal, 2012); Uzbekistan (Dubovsky, 1966). The record supposed by Metcalf (1967) to concern the Netherlands (Reclaire, 1944) actually refers to Germany.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF721563E8B8811EBD7B3533.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Ribaut (1952) writes that the aedeagus of D. impudica, in contrast to D. stylata, is “ dépourvu de carènes latérales à la base ”, means that it lacks a shield-shaped base. Ossiannilsson (1983) does not mention this character, but gives two figures of the aedeagus in lateral view: one for a specimen from Poland, which apparently has no lateral carina, and another one from Sweden, which is figured also in ventral view, and which displays a carina, even if it is not very distinct. The material we examined from different regions in Europe (but not from France and Fennoscandia), displays generally a distinct basal shield (including specimens from the coast of the Baltic Sea in North Germany). Apparently, this character is rather variable, and possibly the populations from western and northern Europe are different in this character in respect of the populations in southern, southeastern and eastern Europe. Taxonomic remarks. D. ivanovi Kusnezov, 1928 a has been recorded from Central European Russia, Southern European Russia, Ukraine (Nast, 1972). Until now, there were apparently no figures of this species, and the description given by the author gives no information about the genital morphology. In his description of D. lukjanovitshi, Kusnezov (1929) indicates the position of the new taxon near D. ivanovi and D. stylata. This was the only hint to an affinity of D. ivanovi to the D. stylata group. The examination of syntypes of D. ivanovi (Figs 8 C, D; 10 Q; 11 I; 12 I) showed no essential differences to D. impudica. Therefore, we establish the synonymy of D. ivanovi with D. impudica.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

In Italy the species was found on dry meadows, near the sand coast and above all on the ruderal grasses on the gravel of broad riverbeds at low altitude. On the Balkan Peninsula we collected specimens on dry meadows and steppic habitats. Host plants are Calamagrostis epigejos, in northern Italy also Elymus athericus (and perhaps other Elymus species) (Nickel, 2003). Phenology. We collected the species from the beginning of June until the end of August.

In the description of D. iblea, D’Urso (1983) suggested on the basis of the aedeagus shape in lateral view (Fig. 23 G) some affinity of her new species to D. marandica. After the examination of the type material and some further specimens of D. marandica, however, it is clear that the ventrally strongly protruding aedeagus evolved in both species convergently, and D. marandica belongs not to the D. paludosa group but to the D. stylata group. In particular, it is closely related to D. impudica, with which it shares the size, general morphology and the shape of styles, genital plates and female pregenital sternite.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF6A1568E8B8815DBB473133.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. D. vefele sp. nov. is related to D. stylata, D. exilis and D. impudica. It shares with these species the shape of styles with long and narrow apical portion, the aedeagus with shield-shaped baso-ventral widening and without thorn- or tooth-like protuberances, the general shape of the genital plates and the shape of the female pregenital sternite. It differs from D. exilis, D. stylata and D. impudica by proportionally shorter genital plates (Figs 18 A – C) and above all the longer and almost triangular vertex (Figs 15 A – D) (rather short and rounded apical vertex margin in the other three species), furthermore by the apicad less tapering aedeagus (in lateral view) with small basal shield (Figs 17 A, C). In addition, it is distinguished in respect of D. exilis by the conspicuously larger body size, and proportionally longer wings (Figs 15 A – D). D. vefele displays some affinity to D. roesle sp. nov. (see below) in its aedeagus morphology, light coloration and above all in its long vertex. It is distinguished, however, in respect of this species by its larger body size and by its proportionally longer fore wings with ratio length (from shoulder to hind margin) to width of head 1.03 – 1.21 (in D. roesle 0.8 – 0.91).	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF6A1568E8B8815DBB473133.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The specimens from Morocco are quite light, sand coloured without any metallic green tinge on the fore wings; their vertex displays no transverse row of spots at mid-length. This material consists of a nymph, and only one female in addition to six males; some adults were still incompletely sclerified (in dried state to some degree deformed). Apparently, the material was collected (24. – 25. May) soon after emergence of the first adults.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

Primarily in their aedeagus morphology (Figs 17 E – L), they resemble rather D. stylata in so far as the basal shield is well developed and / or the ventral margin is slightly sinuate (but in all examined specimens completely smooth). In some cases (particularly in specimens from Morocco and Tunisia), the median denticle of the styles (Fig. 17 R) is directed somewhat ventrad and therefore not easily visible without disconnecting the styles from the genital plates. The (only two) females (Figs 16 C, E; from Tunisia and northern Spain, respectively) have a distinctly shorter ovipositor than the (two) females in the type series of D. vefele (Figs 15 A, D; Morocco and southern Spain). A nymph (Fig. 9 M) belonging to a series of specimens from Tunisia (Beja) displays the coloration pattern as observed in D. vefele (Fig. 9 L) and D. stylata (Fig. 9 A).	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF64156CE8B886BEBCBC30C6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Based on the morphology of aedeagus and female pregenital sternite, D. roesle belongs to the D. stylata group. It differs from D. exilis and D. stylata particularly by its proportionally long vertex (Figs 7 C – E) with ratio length to width including eyes 0.43 – 0.5 (in D. exilis and D. stylata 0.37 – 0.43) and by the not geniculate styles (Fig. 11 E) (in D. exilis and D. stylata distinctly geniculate) with acuminate lateral apodeme, from D. impudica also by its distinctly smaller size (D. roesle: males maximum 3.25 mm, females maximum 4.25 mm; D. impudica: males minimum ca. 3.9 mm, females minimum ca. 5.3 mm). In coloration and head shape, D. roesle resembles to some degree D. vefele and specimens among the D. vefele complex. In regard of the style or aedeagus morphology, there is equally some affinity to some specimens belonging to the D. vefele complex. D. roesle is distinguished in respect of these specimens, however, by its smaller body size and above all by its proportionally very short fore wings with ratio length (from shoulder to hind margin) to width of head 0.8 – 0.91 (in specimens of D. vefele and the D. vefele complex 1.03 – 1.24).	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF601551E8B88185BC42367E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The species is closely related to D. butzele and D. iblea, based on a similar shape of styles, aedeagus and female genital sternite. Main differences to the other two species lay above all in the aedeagus morphology (shape of ventral margin, presence of spinules on the apical portion), and in the presence and / or shape of the median notch on the hind margin of the female pregenital sternite (see below in the diagnosis of D. butzele).	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF601551E8B88185BC42367E.taxon	distribution	Distribution (Fig. 58). Confirmed records only from Italy: We checked material from Friuli-Venezia Giulia (type locality), Veneto, Emilia-Romagna, Tuscany, Umbria, Latium, Abruzzo, Sardinia. The record for Ukraine (Odessa) by Dlabola (1958), is obviously erroneous. In his collection deposited in MNHN there are two female specimens from Odessa (MNHN) EH 23448, corrected by Dlabola himself to D. salina Horváth, 1903. The records by Horváth (1903 b) for Hungary (Novi), probably refer to Croatia and to D. butzele; equally, his records for Dalmatia (Arbe) and Herzegovina (Trebinje) should be referred to D. butzele, and his records for southern Austria concern localities nowadays parts of Italy (they refer probably to D. paludosa). The records for Montenegro in Radović & Pešić (2014) as D. cf. paludosa refer to D. butzele. The record by Kusnezov (1929) for Central Siberia (Buryatia) is highly doubtful and surely not based on the examination of genital characters which would be necessary for a correct identification. Records by Graeffe (1903) for Slovenia (Tolmein [Tolmin]) and Croatia (Cepichsee [a nowadays dry former lake in Istria]) refer in the first case probably, in the second case surely (we examined specimens from the Melichar collection) to D. butzele. Records for Romania (Nast, 1972) need confirmation (D. butzele?). All the specimens we checked from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro (coll. Melichar, Dlabola, Remane, Lauterer, Bückle) belong to D. butzele and not to D. paludosa.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF601551E8B88185BC42367E.taxon	biology_ecology	Ecology. Specimens in continental Italy were found between sea level and ca. 1050 m, meanwhile the collection sites in Sardinia, where D. paludosa apparently represents the only Doratura species, range from ca. 150 m up to 1400 m. In the original description of the species, Melichar indicates moist biotopes as habitat as is suggested by its name and implied by the type locality, but obviously dry places, as dry meadows and ruderal biotopes are settled by that species too. Phenology. Adults were collected from the end of May until the beginning of September; the species is probably bivoltine and hibernates in the egg stage. Taxonomic remark 1. In his description of D. paludosa, Melichar distinguished this species from D. stylata and D. homophyla by its minor body size, stouter body shape, longer vertex, different shape of genital segment and different ecology (preference of moist localities). Except for the shape of the genital segment these characters are not suitable for defining diagnostic characters of these three Doratura species, and indeed all other Doratura specimens of the Melichar collection in Brno identified by Melichar himself as D. paludosa proved to be other species (D. stylata, D. homophyla, and D. butzele). Taxonomic remark 2. We studied the type material of Doratura veneta (type locality: S. Giuliano, near Venice) from the Servadei collection in Verona (male holotype; Fig. 23 A) and from the Dlabola collection in Paris (one male paratype (MNHN) EH 23450). There are no significant differences to D. paludosa Melichar in general shape, size, coloration and genital morphology. Therefore, we establish the synonymy of D. veneta Dlabola, 1959 with D. paludosa Melichar, 1897 (syn. nov.).	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF5D1555E8B8871DBA5A332E.taxon	discussion	Preliminary remark. In the MZUR (Rome) two specimens of Doratura are deposited, which were identified as Doratura paludosa Melichar by Wagner and present an aedeagus distinctly different from the aedeagus of the syntypes of D. paludosa in the Moravian Museum of Brno. In all other characters they are identical or at least very similar to these syntypes. Specimens with the same aedeagus shape are also in the Servadei collection, partly identified by Dlabola as D. paludosa as well. Apparently, both Wagner and Dlabola had noticed that in Italy two similar species are present and interpreted one of them correctly as D. veneta Dlabola, based on the figures in Dlabola’s description, the other one erroneously as D. paludosa Melichar without being acquainted with the genital morphology of the type series of the latter. In this unclear taxonomic situation, other authors used later both names for the two species without a coherent species discrimination. With D. veneta being synonymous to D. paludosa (see above), the second taxon, hitherto often interpreted as D. paludosa, recently has been described as D. butzele (Guglielmino & Bückle, 2021).	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF5D1555E8B8871DBA5A332E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. D. butzele displays a close affinity to D. paludosa and D. iblea. It shares with these species the aedeagus provided with small spinules on a great part of its surface and the stout evenly bent styles. The main difference to both species consists in the morphology of the aedeagus. In D. butzele (Figs 23 D – F) it is stouter (in lateral view), with rather evenly curved ventral margin and proximally curved dorsal margin. Spinules are present only in the central portion, with the apical sector remaining smooth and shiny. In D. paludosa the aedeagus (Figs 23 A – C) is slender in lateral view, widened only in its central portion, the ventral margin is strongly curved in the middle, the dorsal margin proximally straight, curved in its distal portion. Spinules are present on the entire surface including the apical part, a short proximal sector only remains free of them. D. iblea displays an aedeagus with abruptly elevated ventral crest, spinules are present up to the apex. In D. butzele, the pregenital sternite of the female (Figs 20 C, D) has generally a distinct small semicircular notch. In D. paludosa (Figs 20 A, B) this notch is usually shallow and rather indistinct.

Furthermore, the species is present at least in Slovenia (Seljak, pers. comm.), Croatia (Istria), Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Albania. (Among a series of D. stylata specimens from Tunisia, collected apparently by O. Schmiedeknecht and published by Melichar (1899), was one specimen of D. butzele; the presence of the species in that country should be confirmed). Recently, the species was collected in Lower Austria, in a ground squirrel enclosure (possibly introduced).	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

In Calabria, it was found at low altitude too, but in the M. Pollino region also at moderately high altitude until 1400 m and in the Sila mountains until 1800 m; the highest collection sites in Sicily are at 1450 m (M. Etna). The species occurs in dry or moderately moist habitats (borders of lowland riverbeds, grasslands near the seashore, ruderal places), in the southern regions also on mountain pastures or clearings of open forests. Phenology. The species was collected from the beginning of June until the end of October. Probably it is bivoltine (possibly in mountain regions monovoltine) and overwinters in the egg stage.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

From the latter species it is distinguished by the less slender aedeagus and the female pregenital sternite (Figs 20 F, G), which displays a small notch on its hind margin. It resembles in its aedeagus also D. stylata, but lacks its basal shield, and displays rather evenly curved styles. The connective (Fig. 2 H) is short, its basal and its branched portion have approximately the same length.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF591555E8B882EDBA8F3640.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Based on the shape of styles, genital plates, pygofer, and the presence of spinules on its aedeagus the species seems closely related to D. butzele and, above all, to D. paludosa. With the latter species it shares the spinules distributed also on the aedeagus tip, and the shape of the apical part of aedeagus. From both D. butzele and D. paludosa it is distinguished by the abruptly elevated ventral crest in its proximal half, and by the absence of spinules in the dorsal region of its lateral surface (Fig. 23 G).	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF591555E8B882EDBA8F3640.taxon	discussion	Remarks. We studied some Doratura specimens (Figs 23 H – L) collected by Vera D’Urso near Cesarò in the Nebrodi mountains (Northern Sicily) the position of which is unclear. On the basis of their aedeagus they have to be placed close to D. paludosa, but the crest is developed to a variable degree, with some affinity to the aedeagus morphology of D. iblea. The pregenital sternite of the female is very similar to the one of D. paludosa; the median notch on its hind margin, generally just indistinct in that species, seems completely lost (as in D. iblea). Further Doratura material from other regions of Sicily would be useful for an interpretation of the situation.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

The identification of Doratura material from Mongolia by Dlabola (1965) as D. lukjanovitshi is correct. Dlabola figured the styles of this material, which resemble the styles of D. gravis. However, many specimens in his collection identified by himself as D. lukjanovitshi belong to D. stylata or D. gravis.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

This large species (Figs 27 A, B) is characterized by proportionally long fore wings, and particularly by evenly robust and very long styles (Figs 28 G, H) with hook-shaped apex. The aedeagus (Figs 28 A, B) is smooth and very long, its socle in lateral view high, in ventral view very widely protruding laterally, with angular restriction at mid-length and rounded prominent distal angles. The connective (Fig. 2 I) is long with branched part longer than basal one, branched portion basally very robust, apicad abruptly narrowing. Genital plates (Figs 29 A, B) long, with lateral margin slightly sinuate, apex rounded, median margin of dorsal side basally with wide fold. From D. kusnezovi Vilbaste, 1961 and D. rikele Guglielmino & Bückle, 2021, which have a robust style morphology as well, the species is distinguished by a different shape of genital plates and major body size, from D. kusnezovi also by the hook-shaped apex of the styles, and from D. rikele by a quite different aedeagus shape. The hind margin of the female pregenital sternite (Fig. 20 I) displays a distinct caudal median notch, in specimens from Europe split-shaped, in specimens from Uzbekistan narrowly rounded (see also Dlabola, 1961). The ovipositor is long, with the 2 nd valvulae (Fig. 4 E) provided with about 28 teeth. Fifth instar (Fig. 25 C). Light brown without distinct markings; sagittal line on abdomen lighter; vertex with indistinct brown spots; generally, beneath base of antenna dark brown spot, and on ventrad folded lateral part of pronotum dark brown stripe.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF57155AE8B88669BB31300E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The species is characterized by evenly curved styles (Figs 32 A, B) and the shiny black aedeagus (Figs 31 A – D) with robust thorns on its ventral side and high socle, features that it shares with D. rusaevi Kusnezov, 1928 and D. medvedevi Logvinenko, 1961. It is distinguished from the first species by the (in ventral view) distinctly widened aedeagus base, from the latter by the stouter and wider aedeagus shaft (ventral view). The position of the style denticle (Figs 32 A, B) is approximately at mid-length, in the other two species not far from the apex. The female pregenital sternite (Fig. 34 A) displays a strongly protruding, roughly semicircular hind margin without distinct median notch (tongue-shaped in D. rusaevi, provided with deep incision in D. medvedevi). Fifth instar. The only examined (parasitized) nymph (fifth instar; Fig. 30 B, C) is dark brown with little extended light areas in the middle of the apex of abdomen and laterally on tergite IV.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

Remane in Trentino-Alto Adige and Lombardy. More recently, the species was found by the authors in Emilia-Romagna and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The species is present from North Italy, eastern Central and Southeast Europe, until the East Palearctic region (Kyrgyzstan, China). We examined specimens from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czech Republic, Italy, Montenegro, Russia (Altai), Turkey (Anatolia), and Ukraine. In addition, there are records from China: Xinjiang (Duan & Zhang, 2012); Greece? (Drosopoulos et al., 1986, as D. cf. concors); Hungary (Horváth, 1903 b); Kazakhstan (Mitjaev, 1971, as D. concors dzhungarica); Kyrgyzstan (Dlabola, 1961); Poland (Dworakowska, 1968); Russia: European part (Emeljanov, 1964); Slovenia (Horváth, 1903 b) (as southern Austria [Tolmein], see remarks); Turkey: Black Sea Region (Zeybekoğlu, 1998); Uzbekistan (Dubovsky, 1966). In Servadei’s catalogue, the species is recorded for Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Servadei refers to Horváth (1903 b, reported by Metcalf 1967), but this author indicates “ Tolmein ” (Tolmin) as locality, in those times in Southern Austria, but nowadays in Slovenia (and not in Friuli-Venezia Giulia). Apparently, there are no records for the present Austrian territory.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF50155FE8B88087BBFC3076.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The species is closely related to D. concors and D. medvedevi, based above all on the aedeagus provided with robust black thorn-shaped spines (Figs 31 E – L), the in lateral view high, in ventral view straight and short aedeagus socle, the similar shape of genital plates (Figs 33 D – G) with strongly sinuate lateral margins, and the strongly caudad protruding female pregenital sternite (Figs 34 B, C). The equally curved and stout styles (Figs 32 C – E) clearly resemble the corresponding structures in D. medvedevi. D. rusaevi differs from the other two taxa in males by the only slightly (not abruptly) widening aedeagus base (ventral view), in females by the long tongueshaped pregenital sternite without caudal notch.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF50155FE8B88087BBFC3076.taxon	discussion	Remarks. For D. rusaevi Kusnezov, described after a female from Kazakhstan (surroundings of Uralsk), an extremely long and narrow female pregenital sternite is figured in the original description. Later, the aedeagus of the species was figured by Emeljanov (1964) and Mitjaev (1971). In these figures, the affinity to the aedeagus of D. concors is obvious. We examined specimens identified by Emeljanov as D. rusaevi.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF50155FE8B88087BBFC3076.taxon	distribution	Distribution (Fig. 60 B). We studied material from Kazakhstan and European Russia. Apparently, there are no records for further countries. Taxonomic remarks. D. astrachanica Vilbaste, 1961, is described from Southern European Russia. There are no records for other countries, records for Near East are erroneous. We examined one male and one female identified by Vilbaste himself and now deposited in the Dlabola collection in Paris. The aedeagus displays robust spines; the female pregenital sternite is strongly protruding as in D. concors but has a different shape. Following Vilbaste in the original description, this taxon should differ from D. rusaevi in its larger size and the female pregenital sternite, which in D. rusaevi should narrow from the base on and in D. astrachanica only from mid-length on. Both differences are not evident in our material (Measurements males: D. astrachanica: Body length: 3.35 mm; body width over wings: 1.35 mm; length of hind tibia: 1.96 mm; width of vertex: 1.21 mm; length of vertex: 0.50 mm; length of fore wings from shoulder to tip: 1.23 mm; width of fore wings: 0.88 mm. D. rusaevi: Body length: 3.2 – 3.5 mm; body width over wings: 1.34 mm; length of hind tibia: 2.0 – 2.02 mm; width of vertex: 1.16 – 1.19 mm; length of vertex: 0.48 – 0.50 mm; length of fore wings from shoulder to tip: 1.15 – 1.17 mm; width of fore wings: 0.84 – 0.86 mm. Measurements females: D. astrachanica: Body length: 5.9 mm; body width over wings: 1.77 mm; length of hind tibia: 2.16 mm; width of vertex: 1.36 mm; length of vertex: 0.56 mm; length of fore wings from shoulder to tip: 1.34 mm; width of fore wings: 1.01 mm. D. rusaevi: Body length: 4.9 – 5.3 mm; body width over wings: 1.46 – 1.54 mm; length of hind tibia: 2.02 – 2.21 mm; width of vertex: 1.32 – 1.34 mm; length of vertex: 0.58 – 0.60 mm; length of fore wings from shoulder to tip: 1.38 – 1.44 mm; width of fore wings: 0.94 – 1.02 mm). Note that the difference in body length between the D. astrachanica female and the longest D. rusaevi female is exclusively due to the abdomen, which is very expanded in the former specimen, strongly contracted in the latter; measurements regarding the fore body of all the measured specimens give values within a quite limited range. As to the female pregenital sternite, see Figs 34 B, C. Thus, we establish the synonymy of D. astrachanica with D. rusaevi.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

D. medvedevi is recorded also from Greece (Drosopoulos et al., 1986). We failed to locate material for which the record for Greece was published. Therefore, the location of the collecting site is unknown to us.

The species is characterized by the testaceous aedeagus (Figs 37 A – E) with two rows of teeth or spines prevalently in the apical half, and with a characteristic uneven curvature in lateral view. The aedeagus socle is flat and fused with the shaft which is therefore not flexibly articulated. The connective (Fig. 2 M) is long with branched portion much longer than basal one; the oval bifurcation has widely separated branches. The pygofer (Fig. 3 E) displays about four macrosetae dorso-caudally. The hind margin of the female pregenital sternite (Fig. 34 E) is lobeshaped protruding. In most characters, the species resembles D. caucasica Melichar, 1913. It is distinguished from this species, however, by the shape of the apical part of aedeagus and by the prominent latero-caudal angle of its genital plates (Figs 39 A, B).	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

In Italy, Servadei (1967) records the species from Lombardy, Trentino-Alto Adige, and Tuscany. The record from Trentino-Alto Adige refers to Cobelli’s old record (1904), which needs confirmation. We found only one specimen (from Tuscany) in the Servadei collection with a label “ D. homophyla ”, which, however, proved to be Doratura paludosa Horváth. The presence of D. homophyla in Italy should be confirmed, all records until now are highly doubtful. We ourselves never collected the species in Italy. However, as it occurs in Spain, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary and former Yugoslavia, its presence at least in northern Italy is possible.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

The species is found mostly on lowland places, and sandy or steppic habitats. In the southern regions it occurs in mountain areas as well, until an altitude of about 1000 m. Phenology. Nickel (2003) records for the species a bivoltine life cycle with adults from May to October. Adults in our material were collected from the beginning of June until the middle of September. Taxonomic remarks. D. littoralis Kuntze was described (as forma littoralis of D. homophyla) from dunes on the coast of the Baltic Sea in Germany (Mecklenburg). The author indicates larger size (body length of females 6 mm), light coloration with largely obliterated markings, slight differences in the aedeagus shape, and a styles morphology near to D. impudica as diagnostic characters. He suggests Ammophila arenaria as host plant and considers the species halophilous. Wagner (1941), who had similar material collected on the coast of the Baltic Sea in Holstein (Hohwacht), raised this taxon to the level of a species. He records three females of this taxon from Bellinchen (now Bielinek in Poland), i. e. a locality quite distant from the coast. In 1968, Dworakowska dedicates a paragraph in her study on the Doratura taxa in Poland to D. littoralis. Unfortunately, she had only one male and one female specimen available for a comparison with D. homophyla. She indicates 5.67 mm as body length of the female. All in all, she confirms the diagnostic characters indicated by Kuntze. She mentions the large size, different proportion of the length of eighth and ninth abdominal tergite, the light coloration, the differences in the bending of the aedeagus, the lateral direction of its apical teeth, and the slenderer and longer styles with curved apex. Nevertheless, the style of D. littoralis figured in the same article, displays clearly more affinity to D. homophyla than to D. impudica. Besides the records for Germany and Poland, the species was recorded later also from the Netherlands (Reclaire 1944) and from Latvia (Söderman et al., 2009). We studied two females of Wagner’s material from Holstein (Hohwacht; Fig. 36 E) and ten Doratura specimens (five males and five females) collected by H. Nickel (together with D. impudica specimens) on the island of Poel in Mecklenburg (Figs 36 A – D) not far from the type locality of D. littoralis. The characters of their genital apparatus (Figs 37 A, 38 A) display no significant differences to the corresponding structures in D. homophyla specimens from Southern Germany and Hungary. The coloration is generally light, but a similar light coloration may be observed among D. homophyla specimens from several countries too (e. g. in some specimens from saline localities in Austria), even though somewhat darker specimens are prevailing. The markings on abdomen, pronotum, vertex and face are quite variable, generally not very extended. The size is highly variable, for instance the largest female has a length of 5.2 mm, the smallest one only 4.3 mm (the two females deposited in the Wagner collection as D. littoralis have a body length of about 5.0 mm; D. homophyla females in our material range between 4.0 and 5.05 mm, mean value 4.55 mm). On average, the specimens from the Baltic Sea are somewhat larger than the measured D. homophyla specimens from other regions (width of vertex, lengths of wings, length of tibia III). Thus, differences between both groups do not concern the genital morphology, but merely (and only to a low degree, and not in all cases) size and coloration. In some cases, we observed light coloration particularly at localities on the coast also in species of other genera, for instance in Neophilaenus lineatus (L., 1758) or Psammotettix confinis (Dahlbom, 1850). Considering all this, we establish the synonymy of D. littoralis with D. homophyla.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

This species is very closely related to D. homophyla from which it is distinguished by a somewhat different aedeagus shape (Figs 37 F – I) in lateral view and above all by another shape of the genital plates (Figs 39 C – F) without the pronounced latero-caudal angle. The aedeagus socle, the testaceous aedeagus coloration and the presence of two rows of teeth and spines on the ventral side of the apical half of the aedeagus are features that both taxa have in common.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF4E1544E8B88453BB39309E.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The original description of D. caucasica is based on a single female, which the author figures only in dorsal view. Kusnezov (1928 b) places the species near D. rusaevi. Logvinenko (1975) compares D. arenicola with D. caucasica and D. homophyla. Figures of the genital morphology do apparently not exist. In the Moravian Museum in Brno, a male specimen is present collected in Tbilisi (Tiflis), identified by Melichar himself as D. caucasica, and provided with a label “ Kaukasisches Museum ”, apparently corresponding to a specimen mentioned in his publication from 1914 (Melichar, 1914: Figs 30 F; 37 H; 38 G; 39 E, F). Obviously, it belongs to the same species as the D. arenicola specimens in the Logvinenko collection in Kiew. We tried to examine the type specimen too, but without success, as this specimen was not traceable neither in Tbilisi nor in Brno. Even if the specific identity of the male from Tbilisi and the type female from Lago Lechi in northern Georgia is not sure, it is quite probable that both specimens belong to the same species. Melichar’s description of body morphology and female pregenital sternite of D. caucasica coincides well with this interpretation.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF4E1544E8B88453BB39309E.taxon	distribution	Distribution (Fig. 62 A). We examined specimens from Azerbaijan and Georgia. In addition, the species is recorded for Armenia (Kusnezov, 1927), and Russia: Southern European part, Dagestan (Logvinenko, 1975, as D. arenicola). The presence of the species in Armenia is probable but needs confirmation. Taxonomic remarks. D. arenicola Logvinenko, 1975 is described from Southern European Russia (Dagestan), Georgia and Azerbaijan. Logvinenko mentions D. caucasica, D. homophyla and D. littoralis as similar taxa. The only difference between D. caucasica and D. arenicola she mentioned, lies in their different size. However, in the few specimens that are left from her D. arenicola material, conspicuous variability in size is visible. Furthermore, Melichar’s D. caucasica (male) specimen from Tbilisi fits quite well with Logvinenko’s D. arenicola specimens, including the genital morphology. Therefore, we establish the synonymy of D. arenicola with D. caucasica.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

The species is in most characters, including the shape of styles, connective, genital plates, and female pregenital sternite, ± similar to the species of the D. paludosa group. It displays, however, a very particular aedeagus shape (Figs 41 A – C) with two denticulate ventral carinae, divided by a deep furrow. The pygofer has about four-five macrosetae in dorso-caudal position.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF451548E8B8858EBA7330C6.taxon	diagnosis	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 41 G, H) is smooth, distad narrowing with apical hook, and provided with a basal shield. The hind margin of the female pregenital sternite (Fig. 34 I) 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. 41 I), 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 41 K, L), which protrude beyond the pygofer apex, form an exclusive character.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

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.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF44154BE8B885E2BC98359D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. D. lobele combines characters in its genital morphology that make a definition of a general affinity to any other Doratura taxon very difficult. The species displays an aedeagus morphology (Figs 41 M, N) with distinct affinity to the D. stylata group by the lack of spinules or teeth, the shape of the shaft in lateral view with slender tip ending in a hook, and above all by the wide laterally strongly protruding shield-shaped ventral base of the shaft apicad followed by a sagittal carina. However, both the style (Fig. 41 O) with its short apical portion (in the D. stylata group very long and thin, often longer than the basal portion) and the deep notch on the hind margin of the female pregenital sternite (Figs 34 K, L) (lacking in the D. stylata group) distinguish this taxon from all members of the D. stylata group. A small notch on the hind margin of the pregenital sternite is present in the females of D. gravis, but the styles morphology in this species is quite different. Other Doratura taxa with medially excavated hind margin of pregenital sternite have all a distinctly different morphology of aedeagus and / or styles.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF411531E8B88535BC4136B0.taxon	discussion	Preliminary remarks. Only a few characters are available for the identification of Doratura females. Besides several morphometric characters (body length, relative and absolute length of wings, length of tibiae, length of the protruding portion of ovipositor), the morphology of the pregenital sternite furnishes particularly helpful characters. Unfortunately, morphometric characters are quite variable, and as to the pregenital sternites, only some Doratura species display a highly derived shape of the pregenital sternite (e. g., D. medvedevi, Fig. 34 D), whereas in others such specific morphological features are missing. Moreover, for some species the number of specimens we could examine was too low for an estimation of the variation range of their characters. In view of this situation, the key to females presented below is surely insufficient in many regards, as some taxa cannot be identified, and others only by means of rather indistinct differences, which may turn out completely unsuitable after examination of more material. Nevertheless, it may constitute a first attempt, which in the future hopefully will be improved, corrected and elaborated. It may be useful not only for the identification of isolated females, but for the safe assignment of females to the corresponding males, particularly where two or more species occur in the same area.	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.

039C8791BF411531E8B88535BC4136B0.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The abdomen of the female syntype of D. paludosa as presented in Fig. 20 A seems to have a pregenital sternite with strongly concave hind margin and semi-circular median notch. In reality, this is largely due to the position of the sternite still integrated in the ventral part of the abdomen, with strong lateral and slight longitudinal curvature, and in view somewhat obliquely from behind (in order to give the maximum extension of the ovipositor). The isolated sternite (after dissection and under a cover slip) would give a different picture, more similar to the specimen from Manziana (Fig. 20 B).	en	Bückle, Christoph, Guglielmino, Adalgisa (2022): Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species.
