No full textDoratura lobele sp. nov. (Figs 1D; 2O; 3F; 34K, L; 40C–G; 41M–Q) Description. Coloration (Figs 40C, D). Males with the general characters described for the genus Doratura (see above). Hind region of vertex sometimes with one or two small spots on each side near hind margin; fuscous markings in the middle of pronotum and scutellum sometimes forming indistinct sagittal band from vertex tip to scutellum. Wings without green tinge, with whitish veins and ± hyaline cells. Abdomen light with eight longitudinal rows of ± distinct markings, central ones very close to each other, divided by noticeably light middle line, middle ones formed of small spots, lateral two rows more distinct and formed of longitudinal stripes. In light specimens abdominal markings almost lacking. Females with same pattern of coloration as males, sometimes somewhat lighter. Measurements. Males: Total body length: 2.96–3.23 (in one case 3.57) mm; width over wings: 1.11–1.36 mm; width of head: 1.07–1.13 mm; length of vertex: 0.46–0.52 mm; length of forewings from shoulder to apex: 0.92–1.06 mm; length of hind tibia: 1.50–1.75 mm. Females: Total body length: 3.85–4.15 (in one case 4.46) mm; width over wings: 1.15–1.31 (in one case 1.43) mm; width of head: 1.13–1.19 (in one case 1.25) mm; length of vertex: 0.51–0.56 mm; length of forewings from shoulder to apex: 0.94–0.98 (in one case 1.11) mm; length of hind tibia: 1.65–1.84 mm. Male genitalia. Aedeagus shaft with shield-shaped base, in lateral view (Fig. 41M) almost evenly narrowing from basal fifth to tip, apex thin and hook-shaped, ventral border very slightly concave or almost straight at midlength, dorsal margin somewhat convex; ventro-basal part distinctly carinate. In ventral view (Fig. 41N) basal part distinctly protruding laterally with angular latero-apical margin, shaft towards apex somewhat widening until about mid-length, then narrowing evenly until aedeagus tip; surface smooth and shiny without spinules or teeth. Socle rather high in lateral view, wide and distinctly protruding laterad in ventral view. Styles (Fig. 41O) with denticle almost two thirds of style length distant from base, apical part rather short, distinctly bent, basal portion with exterior margin abruptly bent at mid-length, slightly widened along its apical half. Connective (Fig. 2O) short, length of branched part approximately as length of basal part. Pygofer (Fig. 3F) with about three macrosetae in dorso-caudal position. Genital plates (Figs 41P, Q) short, apically rounded, without distinct sutural angle and with at most indistinct exterior angle, lateral margin strongly sinuate. Female genitalia. Pregenital sternite (Figs 34K, L) with lateral margin slightly converging in caudal direction, obtuse posterior angles, hind margin laterally ± straight, medially with deep V-shaped notch. Ovipositor in lateral view protruding beyond posterior angle of pygofer somewhat less than 1/4 to almost 1/3 of its length from hind margin of pregenital segment to ovipositor tip. Fifth instar of nymph (Figs 40E–G). Pronotum, pterothorax and wingpads brown, lateral parts lighter; abdomen with narrow light middle line, laterally brown, with exterior portion (above all in tergites V–VI) light, base of setae dark; light specimens occur very often, with strongly reduced and indistinct markings and ± homogeneous brownish yellow coloration. Diagnosis. D. lobele combines characters in its genital morphology that make a definition of a general affinity to any other Doratura taxon very difficult. The species displays an aedeagus morphology (Figs 41M, N) with distinct affinity to the D. stylata group by the lack of spinules or teeth, the shape of the shaft in lateral view with slender tip ending in a hook, and above all by the wide laterally strongly protruding shield-shaped ventral base of the shaft apicad followed by a sagittal carina. However, both the style (Fig. 41O) with its short apical portion (in the D. stylata group very long and thin, often longer than the basal portion) and the deep notch on the hind margin of the female pregenital sternite (Figs 34K, L) (lacking in the D. stylata group) distinguish this taxon from all members of the D. stylata group. A small notch on the hind margin of the pregenital sternite is present in the females of D. gravis, but the styles morphology in this species is quite different. Other Doratura taxa with medially excavated hind margin of pregenital sternite have all a distinctly different morphology of aedeagus and/or styles. Distribution (Figs 62B, 63). D. lobele is known so far only from the Peloponnese peninsula (Greece). Ecology. Specimens were found at low and medium altitude between 450 and 1254 m on dry meadows and pastures, and ruderal biotopes. Phenology. Specimens were collected at the beginning of August (2.–9.8.); in this period, males, females and nymphs were present. Type series.

Doratura vefele Bückle & Guglielmino 2022
No full textD. vefele complex (Figs 9M; 16A–E; 17E–L, O–S; 18D–G; 19G) There are specimens of several localities in northern Spain, central Morocco and Tunisia (Fig. 56) which present ± the typical vertex shape and coloration of D. vefele but share not all the other characters of this taxon. Primarily in their aedeagus morphology (Figs 17E–L), they resemble rather D. stylata in so far as the basal shield is well developed and/or the ventral margin is slightly sinuate (but in all examined specimens completely smooth). In some cases (particularly in specimens from Morocco and Tunisia), the median denticle of the styles (Fig. 17R) is directed somewhat ventrad and therefore not easily visible without disconnecting the styles from the genital plates. The (only two) females (Figs 16C, E; from Tunisia and northern Spain, respectively) have a distinctly shorter ovipositor than the (two) females in the type series of D. vefele (Figs 15A, D; Morocco and southern Spain). A nymph (Fig. 9M) belonging to a series of specimens from Tunisia (Beja) displays the coloration pattern as observed in D. vefele (Fig. 9L) and D. stylata (Fig. 9A).Published as part of Bückle, Christoph & Guglielmino, Adalgisa, 2022, Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species, pp. 1-116 in Zootaxa 5112 (1) on page 26, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5112.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/634058
Doratura butzele , Guglielmino & Buckle 2021
No full textDoratura butzele Guglielmino & Bückle, 2021 (Figs 1F; 2G; 3B; 4D; 20C, D; 21F; 22A–G; 23D–F; 24D–G, L–N) Doratura (Doratura) butzele Guglielmino & Bückle, 2021: 78 Preliminary remark. In the MZUR (Rome) two specimens of Doratura are deposited, which were identified as Doratura paludosa Melichar by Wagner and present an aedeagus distinctly different from the aedeagus of the syntypes of D. paludosa in the Moravian Museum of Brno. In all other characters they are identical or at least very similar to these syntypes. Specimens with the same aedeagus shape are also in the Servadei collection, partly identified by Dlabola as D. paludosa as well. Apparently, both Wagner and Dlabola had noticed that in Italy two similar species are present and interpreted one of them correctly as D. veneta Dlabola, based on the figures in Dlabola’s description, the other one erroneously as D. paludosa Melichar without being acquainted with the genital morphology of the type series of the latter. In this unclear taxonomic situation, other authors used later both names for the two species without a coherent species discrimination. With D. veneta being synonymous to D. paludosa (see above), the second taxon, hitherto often interpreted as D. paludosa, recently has been described as D. butzele (Guglielmino & Bückle, 2021). In addition to the characters provided in the original description, we mention only some further characters concerning coloration and male genital apparatus: Description. Coloration (Figs 22A–G). Pattern of markings as in D. paludosa with the same high degree of variability from light specimens (with very reduced dark markings: only three small spots on anterior border of vertex and thin transverse lines on face, black bands on abdomen disintegrated in rows of spots, small markings on male and female genital segment, thin stripes on legs and only inner areas of basal abdominal sternites dark) to very dark ones (with almost completely black face, complete dark band from vertex to scutellum, ± fuscous cells of fore wings, wide dark stripes on abdomen and almost completely black ventral side). Male genitalia. Connective (Fig. 2G) comparatively long with branched portion longer than proximal portion. Pygofer (Fig. 3B) with about 7–12 macrosetae near its hind margin, concentrated in dorsal area near central black spot. Fifth instar (Fig. 21F). As in D. paludosa, with the same degree of variability. Diagnosis. D. butzele displays a close affinity to D. paludosa and D. iblea. It shares with these species the aedeagus provided with small spinules on a great part of its surface and the stout evenly bent styles. The main difference to both species consists in the morphology of the aedeagus. In D. butzele (Figs 23D–F) it is stouter (in lateral view), with rather evenly curved ventral margin and proximally curved dorsal margin. Spinules are present only in the central portion, with the apical sector remaining smooth and shiny. In D. paludosa the aedeagus (Figs 23A–C) is slender in lateral view, widened only in its central portion, the ventral margin is strongly curved in the middle, the dorsal margin proximally straight, curved in its distal portion. Spinules are present on the entire surface including the apical part, a short proximal sector only remains free of them. D. iblea displays an aedeagus with abruptly elevated ventral crest, spinules are present up to the apex. In D. butzele, the pregenital sternite of the female (Figs 20C, D) has generally a distinct small semicircular notch. In D. paludosa (Figs 20A, B) this notch is usually shallow and rather indistinct. Sometimes it may be completely lacking, a condition that is observed also in D. iblea. Distribution (Fig. 58). D. butzele is known in Italy from Veneto, Piedmont, Abruzzo, Molise, Apulia, Campania, Basilicata, Calabria and Sicily. Furthermore, the species is present at least in Slovenia (Seljak, pers. comm.), Croatia (Istria), Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and Albania. (Among a series of D. stylata specimens from Tunisia, collected apparently by O. Schmiedeknecht and published by Melichar (1899), was one specimen of D. butzele; the presence of the species in that country should be confirmed). Recently, the species was collected in Lower Austria, in a ground squirrel enclosure (possibly introduced). Ecology. The species was collected in Northern and Central Italy (Veneto, Piedmont, Abruzzo, Molise) only at low altitude (0–700 m). In Calabria, it was found at low altitude too, but in the M. Pollino region also at moderately high altitude until 1400 m and in the Sila mountains until 1800 m; the highest collection sites in Sicily are at 1450 m (M. Etna). The species occurs in dry or moderately moist habitats (borders of lowland riverbeds, grasslands near the seashore, ruderal places), in the southern regions also on mountain pastures or clearings of open forests. Phenology. The species was collected from the beginning of June until the end of October. Probably it is bivoltine (possibly in mountain regions monovoltine) and overwinters in the egg stage.Published as part of Bückle, Christoph & Guglielmino, Adalgisa, 2022, Revision of the genus Doratura Sahlberg (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) with particular regard to its distribution in Italy and description of four new species, pp. 1-116 in Zootaxa 5112 (1) on pages 33-37, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5112.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/634058
Doratura roesle Bückle & Guglielmino 2022, sp. nov.
No full textDoratura roesle sp. nov. (Figs 7C–E; 9D–G; 10K, L; 11E; 12G; 19H) Description. Coloration (Figs 7C–E). With the general characters described for the genus Doratura (see above). Central and hind region of vertex at most with indistinct light brown markings, sometimes with small brown spots along hind margin; pronotum light without markings, somewhat fuscous in sagittal part. Fore wings hyaline pale without green tinge and generally without dark markings. Abdomen light with eight longitudinal rows of small markings, central ones very close to each other, divided by noticeably light middle line, middle ones formed of very small spots, lateral two rows more distinct and formed of short longitudinal stripes; in light specimens abdominal markings almost lacking. Females with same pattern of coloration as males. Measurements. Males: Total body length: 2.95–3.25 mm; width over wings: 1.15–1.28 mm; width of head: 1.07–1.14 mm; length of vertex: 0.48–0.55 mm; length of forewings from shoulder to apex: 0.88–1.00 mm; length of hind tibia: 1.60–1.78 mm. Females: Total body length: 3.80–4.25 mm; width over wings: 1.20–1.38 mm; width of head: 1.10–1.25 mm; length of vertex: 0.52–0.58 mm; length of forewings from shoulder to apex: 0.95–1.06 mm; length of hind tibia: 1.65–1.90 mm. Male genitalia. Aedeagus smooth, shaft in lateral view (Fig. 10L) equally narrowing towards apex, ventral margin straight or very slightly convex, whole lateral part sclerotized without membranous areas; in ventral view (Fig. 10K) basal shield with rather indistinct or lacking latero-apical angles, central part indistinctly widening. Styles (Fig. 11E) in dorsal view almost equally curved, not geniculate, with prominent acuminate denticle ± at mid-length, portion basally of denticle slender, lateral apodeme (“talon”) acuminate. Connective with basal portion somewhat shorter than branched portion; basal part parallel, branching with rounded angles. Pygofer with about three long macrosetae on each side near its dorso-caudal margin. Genital plates (Fig. 12G) apically with rounded angles, laterally sinuate. Female genitalia. Pregenital sternite (Fig. 19H) with hind margin straight or slightly convex in the middle. Ovipositor in lateral view protruding beyond posterior angle of pygofer barely 0.3 times length from hind margin of pregenital sternite to ovipositor tip. Fifth instar (Figs 9D–G). All the nymphs collected together with adults of D. roesle display a coloration pattern similar to that of D. stylata. Some nymphs are very light, and their coloration pattern cannot easily be discerned. Diagnosis. Based on the morphology of aedeagus and female pregenital sternite, D. roesle belongs to the D. stylata group. It differs from D. exilis and D. stylata particularly by its proportionally long vertex (Figs 7C–E) with ratio length to width including eyes 0.43–0.5 (in D. exilis and D. stylata 0.37–0.43) and by the not geniculate styles (Fig. 11E) (in D. exilis and D. stylata distinctly geniculate) with acuminate lateral apodeme, from D. impudica also by its distinctly smaller size (D. roesle: males maximum 3.25 mm, females maximum 4.25 mm; D. impudica: males minimum ca. 3.9 mm, females minimum ca. 5.3 mm). In coloration and head shape, D. roesle resembles to some degree D. vefele and specimens among the D. vefele complex. In regard of the style or aedeagus morphology, there is equally some affinity to some specimens belonging to the D. vefele complex. D. roesle is distinguished in respect of these specimens, however, by its smaller body size and above all by its proportionally very short fore wings with ratio length (from shoulder to hind margin) to width of head 0.8–0.91 (in specimens of D. vefele and the D. vefele complex 1.03–1.24). Distribution (Fig. 63). Until now, known only from three localities in the northern part of the Peloponnese Peninsula (Greece). Ecology. The material was collected on dry open areas at about 950–1200 m altitude. Phenology. The specimens (nymphs, males, females) were collected at the end of July and the beginning of August.

Towards a new sustainability assessment for historic buildings: development of GBC Historic Building
No full textExisting buildings with historic and testimonial value represent a significant asset in Italy. The improvement of existing building’s performance, by deep renovation or operational strategies, is also a priority set by the European Community through the recent directives on energy efficiency (2012/27/EU). Recognition of building’s historic value must be an integrated part of a sustainable process aimed at the preservation and enhancement of all the previous expressions of the building.
