Therefore, we do not provide detailed descriptions of genera, but instead illustrate relevant morphological structures in the colour plates provided. Selected structures are highlighted with arrows. The highest variation in the morphological structures are found in wing pattern and size; the number, position and shape of signa; shape of corpus bursae and its sclerotizations; tympanal organs; valva shape and its ornamentations; and in labial palps.
