, except the difference in color of veins Sc+R; yet one needs to have experience to be sure. We have tried to search more morphological characters to separate the macropterous females of these two species. After going through several failures, Dr. Pluot-Sigwalt kindly offered her help. After checking 8 dissections of the females of the two species, she concluded that the gynatrial complex including the spermatheca does not providing reliable characters to separate the two species because of “A) the spermathecal tube is easily broken, which makes it difficult to measure the length of the tube; B) the opening of the spermathecal tube which is connected to the gynatrial dorsal sac appears somewhat variable; C) the gynatrial sac is relatively soft and its form can be varied; D) the fecundation canal is weakly sclerotized and therefore less distinct.” She has confirmed that the structure of the apex of the first gonapophysis seems a better character to distinguish the two species, in that
