All specimens, including types, examined for this study are located in the following collections:
Specimens were dissected after soaking them in soapy water overnight, for cleaning and softening, and the dissected parts were placed in a cold 10 % NaOH solution for 20 hours to macerate the soft tissues. After dissection, all parts were photographed and stored in glycerine in microvials pinned beneath the specimen from which they were dissected.
The morphological terminology used in this study mainly follows Ren (2013). Measurements were made using an ocular micrometre as follows: standard length – in dorsal view from anterior margin of thorax to apex of elytra along midline; pronotal length – in dorsal view from anterior margin to base along midline; pronotal width – in dorsal view across widest part; elytral length – in dorsal view along suture of elytra from base to apex; elytral width – in dorsal view across widest part; rostral length – in lateral view in a straight line from apex to anterior margin of eye; rostral width – in dorsal view across base of rostrum. Measurements are made in millimetres.
All observations and dissections were performed using a Nikon SMZ1500 stereo microscope. The habitus photographs were taken with a MP-E 65 macro lens mounted on a CANON EOS700D digital camera. Other photographs were taken with a CCD Qimagine MicroPublisher 5.0 RTV camera mounted on a Zeiss SteREO Discovery V.12 microscope. Extended-focus images were generated with Auto-Montage Pro 5.03.0061 and edited with Adobe Photoshop CS 14.0 if required.
