All specimens in the collections at the Swedish Museum of Natural History were collected with Malaise Traps. Five specimens of A.lituratus were collected within the Swedish Malaise Trap Project (SMTP). Two specimens were collected by A. Ohlsson in 2011. The single specimen of A.muricatus was collected in a allotment garden by T. Malm and M. Malm in 2012. Terminology used for morphological and wing structures follow Wharton et al. (1997) and Goulet and Hubert (1993) (in parenthesis). Institutional abbreviations: National Museum Ireland (Dublin, Irland) – NMI, Taiwan Agriculture Research Institute (Wufeng, Taiwan) – TARI, Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Scienses (St. Petersburg, Russia) – ZIN, Swedish Museum of Natural History (Stockholm, Sweden) – NHRS, Swedish Malaise Trap Project – SMTP. For molecular methods regarding the mitochondrial marker CO1 see Stigenberg et al. (2015) (link). Sequences were assembled, edited and imaged using Geneious version 8.1 created by Biomatters. Voseq 1.7.3 (Peña and Malm 2012 (link)) database was used for storing voucher and DNA sequence data. Sequences are deposited at GenBank under the accession numbers: KU521563 to 65, with an additional sequence KJ591423 from an earlier publication (Stigenberg et al. 2015 (link)). Images were taken using Canon EOS D50 with a MP-E 65 mm lens. The images were stacked using Zerene Stacker software.
