Robineau-Desvoidy (1830) erected the genus
The genus
The terminology and morphological interpretations used in this paper follow McAlpine (1981) and Wood (1987), but those of male terminalia follow Shima (1986). In addition, we used the following ten ratios (modified from Han and Norrbom, 2005): vertex-head ratio (vertex width/head width); eye ratio (shortest eye diameter/longest eye diameter); fronshead ratio (narrowest width of frons in dorsal view/width of head); gena-eye ratio (genal height/longest eye diameter)- genal height is the distance between the ventral eye margin and the ventral genal margin anterior to the genal seta; parafacial- flagellomere1 ratio (parafacial middle width/flagellomere1 middle width); flagellomere1-pedicel ratio (length of flagellomere 1/length of pedicel); arista-antenna ratio (arista length/antennal length); vein R4+5 ratio (distance along vein R4+5 between cross vein R-M and vein R4+5 apex/distance between cross vein R-M and basal node of vein R4+5); vein M ratio (distance along vein M between cross veins R-M and DM-Cu/distance between cross veins R-M and BMCu); subcosta-costa ratio (length of pterostigma/length of costal cell, both measured along vein C); wing-thorax ratio (wing length/thorax length).
