Poinar & Buckley, 2011: 2 (original: Doratomantispa ; holotype in Buckley’s personal amber collection).

Diagnosis Pronotum long and robust (LP: WPM = 3.43), nearly as long as pterothorax. Profemoral ISs rows: major process with primary branch 2.0 × length of secondary branch; posteroventral row with three gradually shortened processes, subequal gaps among proximal three processes, primary process 3.0 × length of following one, nearly as long as secondary branch; protibial prostrate setae strongly angularly curved. Forewing with costal crossveins proximad to pterostigma almost all simple, three ra-rp, inner gradates present with one crossvein, CuA with three main branches; two inner gradates present near middle of hind wing.

Material examined Holotype, sex unknown, deposited in Buckley’s personal collection, amber piece containing a complete adult of D. burmanica . It is polished in the form of a subrectangular transparent cabochon, with length × width c. 25.00 × 11.00 mm, height c. 9.00 mm.

Remarks Based on the constant state of some characters among the species of Doratomantispa and the re-examination for the holotype of D. burmanica , several characters in the original description are revised here. (1) The pronotum was originally described as glabrous, with few large maculae. Actually, the pronotum of all Doratomantispa species bears pedicellate, long and thick setae, but lacks maculae, while in some specimens, the pronotal setae can be lost due to poor preservation but still with the pedicellate bases retained ( Fig. 17b View Fig ), and sometimes there are some dark spots superficially resembling maculae present on the pedicellate bases ( Figs. 17 View Fig b-c, 20b; Lu et al., 2020, fig. S5A). (2) The protibial prostrate setae in D. burmanica is also distally angularly curved, but not “peg-like.” (3) The arolium should also occur and be small and subtriangular, but invisible in D. burmanica due to its preservation, rather than absent. 3) The hind wing costal crossveins are present as in the other Doratomantispa species ( Figs. 3c View Fig , 14c View Fig , 18c View Fig ; Lu et al. 2020, S4I) although they may be invisible due to the poor preservation. (4) The hind wing “1A” belongs to distal branches of CuP, and accordingly, “2A” and “3A” are A1 and A2.
