Mz 16.5 dissecting microscope

The specimen was examined and then photographed, either dry or wetted with 95% ethanol, using a Leica MZ 16.5 dissecting microscope (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany) with a Leica DFC500 digital camera attached. The line drawings were prepared using Adobe Illustrator CS2 and Adobe Photoshop CS5 software. The wing venation nomenclature used in this article was modified after Rasnitsyn [1 ,2 ]. The type material described is deposited in the Key Lab of Insect Evolution and Environmental Changes, College of Life Sciences, Capital Normal University, in Beijing, China (CNUB; Ren Dong, Curator).
No specific permits were required for collection of the insect fossils, including the materials from Nanyingpan Village, Sandaogou Township, Duolun County, Inner Mongolia, China.

The type fossil specimens studied are housed in the Key Lab of Insect Evolution and Environmental Changes, the College of Life Sciences, Capital Normal University in Beijing, China. The specimens were examined and photographed, either dry or wetted with 95% ethanol, under Leica MZ 16.5 dissecting microscope (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany) with attached digital camera Leica DFC500. The specimens illustrated with the aid of camera lucida attached to the microscope. The figures are drawn by CorelDraw 12.0 and Adobe Photoshop CS5. Wing venation terminology is basically adapted from Rasnitsyn & Zhang [2 (link)].
