Doratura kusnezovi Vilbaste, 1961: 326 View in CoL

Diagnosis. D. kusnezovi Vilbaste, 1961 displays an affinity to D. heterophyla based on a similar shape of aedeagus ( Figs 28C, D View FIGURE 28 ) (but with smaller socle), highly derived styles ( Figs 28I, K View FIGURE 28 ) and a similar female pregenital sternite ( Fig. 20K View FIGURE 20 ), but it is distinctly smaller, with different morphology of genital plates ( Fig. 29C View FIGURE 29 ), and styles without apical hook.

Distribution ( Fig. 60A View FIGURE 60 ). The species is described from Southern European Russia and recorded also from Kazakhstan ( Nast, 1972). We examined material from both areas. In literature, there are no records for other countries.
