The specimens were examined using a Leica
M205C stereomicroscope. Details were studied under an Olympus
BX51 compound microscope. Vulvae were cleared in lactic acid. Photomicroscope images were made with a Canon
EOS 750D zoom digital camera (18 megapixels) mounted on an Olympus
BX51 compound microscope. Photos were stacked with Helicon
Focus 6.7.1 and processed in Adobe Photoshop CC 2020. For scanning electron microscopy (
SEM), specimens were air-dried, sputter-coated using IXRF SYSTEMS, and imaged with a Hitachi TM3030
SEM. All measurements were taken using an Olympus
BX51 compound microscope and are in millimeters. All specimens are preserved in 75% ethanol. The type material is deposited in Shenyang Normal University (
SYNU) in Shenyang, China.
