.
(
M
.)
pilosella
based on the drawings of male terminalia of
Müller (1895)
. We include here, complete illustrations of the male and female head (
Figs. 24–25
), an illustration of the wing, showing the connection between vein R
5
and M
1
(
Fig. 26
) and a detailed illustration of female hypogynium, showing the internal lateral bristles (
Figs. 27–28
). The connection of veins R
5
and M
1
is found in both males and females, but this can vary from a well delimited to a faint connection.
