Legs and details of the male and female genitalia were drawn by means of an Abbe’s drawing apparatus on a compound microscope (Zeiss Jenaval) at magnification 130–500×. Wings were photographed on an Olympus BX51 compound microscope with an attached digital camera (Canon EOS 1200D). Whole adult (dry-mounted) specimens and heads were photographed by means of a Canon EOS 5D Mark III digital camera with a Nikon CFI Plan 10×/0.25NA 10.5mm WD objective attached to a Canon EF 70–200mm f/4L USM zoom lens. The specimen photographed by means of the latter equipment was repositioned upwards between each exposure using a Cognisys StackShot Macro Rail and the final photograph was compiled from multiple layers (~ 40) using Helicon Focus Pro 7.0.2. The final images were edited in Adobe Photoshop CS6. All morphological illustrations were prepared by the first author.
Stackshot macro rail
Manufactured by Helicon
The StackShot Macro Rail is a precision camera positioning system designed for macro photography. It allows for precise control and movement of a camera along three axes, enabling the capture of high-resolution images with a large depth of field.

Legs were drawn on squared paper using a Reichert binocular microscope with an ocular screen. Details of the male and female genitalia were drawn by means of Abbe’s drawing apparatus on a compound microscope (Zeiss Jenaval) at larger magnification (130–500×). Wings were photographed on the compound microscope Olympus BX51 with an attached digital camera (Canon EOS 1200D). Whole adult (dry-mounted) specimens and wings were photographed by means of a digital camera Canon EOS 5D Mark III with a Nikon CFI Plan 10×/0.25NA 10.5 mm WD objective attached to a Canon EF 70–200 mm f/4L USM zoom lens. The specimen photographed by means of the latter equipment was repositioned upwards between each exposure using a Cognisys StackShot Macro Rail and the final photograph was compiled from multiple layers (20–40) using Helicon Focus Pro 7.0.2. The final images were edited in Adobe Photoshop CS6.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
