Zhang, Jing, Cong, Qian, Shen, Jinhui & Grishin, Nick V., 2022, Taxonomic changes suggested by the genomic analysis of Hesperiidae (Lepidoptera), Insecta Mundi 2022 (921), pp. 1-135 : 41

Dotta tura ( Evans, 1951) , new combination

Described by Evans (1951) in Astictopterus C. Felder and R. Felder, 1860 ( type species Astictopterus jama C. Felder and R. Felder, 1860 ), A. tura is not monophyletic with it ( Fig. 10 ), but is sister to the two species currently in Dotta Grishin, 2019 ( type species Ceratrichia stellata Mabille, 1891 ). Therefore, we transfer Astictopterus tura to Dotta forming Dotta tura ( Evans, 1951) , new combination. Dotted ventral hindwing pattern characteristic of Dotta agrees with this placement.
