micro eppendorf with ethanol (№ 531). The two micro eppendorfs stocked in a glass bottle with ethanol (MZSP 000226).
Condition of three
paratypes
without sex identified:
specimen 1, without abdomen, stored in a separate micro eppendorf with ethanol (№ 535); specimen 2, without abdomen and wings, stored in a separate micro eppendorf with ethanol (№ 533);
specimen 3, only with a small part of the thorax and the right wings, stored in a separate micro eppendorf with ethanol (№ 534). The three micro eppendorfs stored inside the glass bottle mentioned above (

)
.
Comments:
In the original paper the authors chose
8 male
and
4 female
specimens as
paratypes
. For this reason, it is not possible to deduce the sex of the specimens without abdomen mentioned above. Probably the
paratype
specimens without identification of sex were mounted on slides, not found.
