description: Doratomantispa longa (Shi, Yang & Ren in Shi et al., 2020) comb. nov.
Shi et al., 2020: 1062 (original: Lonchomantispa; holotype in CNUB).
Diagnosis Pronotum long and slender (LP: WPM = 4.63), 2/3× length of pterothorax. Profemoral ISs rows: anteroventral row with three gradually shortened processes along distal 1/3 length of profemur, major process with primary branch 2.5 × length of secondary branch; posteroventral row with nine gradually shortened processes; primary process very long, distinctly far from and 2.0 × length of following one, 1.5× length of secondary branch; protibia dorsally bearing very long setae, protibial prostrate setae strongly angularly curved. Forewing CuA with six main branches. Male sternum 9 not surpassing apex of ectoprocts; gonocoxites 9 distally simple, each tapering into an acute point; gonapophyses 10 slender, rod-like; gonostyli 10 (pseudopenis) short, curved dorsad.
Remarks The male gonapophyses 10 was erroneously described as the gonocoxites 9, which was drawn as a paired, uniformly sclerotized, rod-like structure in Shi et al., (2020, fig. 5D). However, in Doratomantispa, this structure is normally present as paired, broad, blade-like sclerites, with the anterior portion weakly sclerotized and each sclerite tapering posteriorly into a strongly sclerotized point (Figs. 4a–d, 16f, 19c–f, 21 d-e, Lu et al., 2020, figs. S4D-G), but sometimes it superficially looks rod-like and uniformly sclerotized in lateral view as in D. ares (Fig. 6 d-e). Thus, the rod-like gonapophyses 10 in D. longa might be drawn at the abnormal state caused by the drawing position, and there is no fundamental difference in the male gonapophyses 10 between D. longa and the other species of Doratomantispa. The mediuncus of D. longa in Shi et al. (2020, figs. C-D) might be the male gonocoxites 10 according to Ardila-Camacho et al. (2021).
Doratomantispa longa is in the group of species with the profemoral posteroventral row having the primary process distinctly far from the following one (see Remarks of D. arcimaculata sp. nov. and D. zhangwenjuni sp. nov.).
Morphological comparison between D. longa and the above two new species can be seen in the Remarks section under them respectively. This species can be distinguished from D. pubescens by the gap between the primary process and following first process narrower, the forewing with two crossveins on the proximal subcostal space and the forewing CuA longer with more branches. This species can be distinguished from D. zhangzhiqiae sp. nov. by the presence of forewing ScA, the male sternum 9 not surpassing the apex of ectoprocts, the male gonocoxites 9 distally simple, and the male gonocoxites 11 posterodorsally without any spinuous setae.
