Description

Donacocia Gistel, 1856

Donacocia Gistel, 1856a: 377.

Type species. Donacia brevicornis Ahrens, 1810, designated by LÖBL & SILFVERBERG (2010).

Current status. Valid subgenus of Donacia Fabricius, 1775 (KIPPENBERG 2015).

Comments. For a long time Donacocia was credited to GISTEL (1857b,c) with a single included species, Donacocia aenea Gistel, 1857, considered thus the type species (MON- RÓS & BECHYNÉ 1956, JOLIVET 1970, SEENO & WILCOX 1982). ASKEVOLD (1990, 1991) placed Donacocia in synonymy with Plateumaris C. G. Thomson, 1859 (see also RILEY et al. 2003: 187). LÖBL & SILFVERBERG (2010) found that Donacocia was described already in 1856 (GISTEL 1856a), designated Donacia brevicornis as the type species and re-established the synonymy of Donacocia with Donacia. Recently, KIPPENBERG (2015) re-arranged the subgeneric system of Donacia and used Donacocia as a valid subgenus.
