Treatment

Dorachosa picadae (Jacobi, 1907b) comb. nov.

Carineta picadae Jacobi, 1907b: 201 . (Prov. Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil)

Remarks. The taxonomic position of this species is revised based on the review of the species in the tribe. Jacobi (1907b) describes the species as having a head slightly wider than the mesonotum, the key diagnostic difference between Dorachosa and Carineta . Inspection of a syntype (“CoTypus” label attached to specimen) deposited in the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin, confirms that the head is wider than the mesonotum, the vertex is longer than the dorsal postclypeus, the pronotum is shorter than the mesonotum, the fore wing width is 0.4 times the fore wing length, the opercula are oblong, angled mediad and well separated medially, and the abdomen is about as long as the distance from the apex of the head to the posterior cruciform elevation, characteristics that agree with those given by Distant (1905a) for the genus and to distinguish Herrera (and also found in Dorachosa ) from Carineta in his key. As a result, Carineta picadae Jacobi, 1907a is reassigned to the genus Dorachosa to become Dorachosa picadae (Jacobi, 1907a) comb. nov.

Distribution. The species has been reported only from the province of Rio Grande do Sul in southeastern Brazil (Jacobi 1907b; Nunes et al. 2023).
