Dotta tura ( Evans, 1951) , new combination

Described by Evans (1951) in Astictopterus C. Felder and R. Felder, 1860 (type species Astictopterus jama C. Felder and R. Felder, 1860 ), A. tura is not monophyletic with it ( Fig. 10 ), but is sister to the two species currently in Dotta Grishin, 2019 (type species Ceratrichia stellata Mabille, 1891 ). Therefore, we transfer Astictopterus tura to Dotta forming Dotta tura ( Evans, 1951) , new combination. Dotted ventral hindwing pattern characteristic of Dotta agrees with this placement.
