The colour of the postpedicel (= third antennal segment) and katatergal setae, as used by Oldroyd (1974) to distinguish species, is subject to individual variation. For example, the postpedicel may be either black or orange in specimens of

, while katatergal setae may be either black or white. These characters are consequently unreliable for distinguishing species. While the

genitalia of all species are similar, two groups can be recognized using the shape of the distal projection of the gonocoxite and the size and development of the aedeagus.
