Male genitalia: pseudepiphallic sclerite with a wide median part, more or less reversed overhead, and two long lateral sclerites; pseudepiphallic parameres very large, concave, making a kind of wide wide forceps ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 D–F). Female ovipositor longer than FIII; copulatory papilla large, sclerotized and elongate ( Figs 6 View FIGURE 6 G–H, 8F, G), with a longer and thinner distal part (shorter in P.
