Lu et al., 2020: 3 (original: Doratomantispa ; holotype in EMTG) .

Diagnosis Pronotum long and slender (LP: WPM = 5.56), 1.5 × length of pterothorax. Profemoral ISs rows: anteroventral row with four processes along distal 1/3 length of profemur, gradually shortened, major process with primary branch 2.5 × length of secondary branch; posteroventral row with eight or nine gradually shortened processes, primary process distinctly far from and 2.0 × length of following one, 1.5 × length secondary branch; protibia dorsally bearing very long setae, protibial prostrate setae strongly angularly curved. Forewing immaculate, with costal crossveins proximal to pterostigma mostly simple, three ra-rp, CuA with four main branches and hind wing inner gradates present, with only one crossvein.

Material examined Holotype, EMTG BU-001759 , amber piece preserving a complete adult (sex unknown) of D. pubescens , in a polished elliptical transparent cabochon, with length × width c. 18.48 × 16.61 mm, height c. 6.42 mm.

Remarks Doratomantispa pubescens belongs to the group of four species based on the profemoral posteroventral row with the primary process distinctly far from the following one (see Remarks of D. arcimaculata sp. nov., D. zhangwenjuni sp. nov. and D. longa ). The differences between D. pubescens and the other three species can be seen in the Remarks under D. arcimaculata sp. nov., D. zhangwenjuni sp. nov., and D. longa respectively. Compared with D. zhangzhiqiae sp. nov. (profemur unknown), this species can be distinguished by the very long pronotum (LP: WPM = 5.56) and the immaculate forewing with costal crossveins sparse and mostly simple.
