Genitalia dissections were carried out following the methods described by Li (2002). The photographs of the adults and venation were taken with a Leica M205A, and photographs of the genitalia and details of head were taken with a Leica DM750, with Leica Application Suite 4.2 software to capture images. All the specimens examined are deposited in
