Pictures of adult morphology are composites taken using a digital camera mounted onto a Leica MZ Apo dissecting microscope and subsequently processed using Automontage® software. For detailed examination, genitalia were extracted from specimens softened in water, cleared in 10% KOH, observed in water on glass microscope slides, then transferred into ethanol 70% and stored in capsules mounted on the same pin as the specimens. Drawings were made using a drawing tube mounted onto a compound microscope.
