Table 2 (continued on next page). List of male genitalia characters used for descriptions and diagnoses with corresponding definitions (defined herein, except where indicated, see Fig. 1).

Character	Definition
genital length	see Table 1 (Fig. 1A)
gonostyle/volsella complex (gvc)	The anatomical cluster that is composed of the sclerites that are located distally of the cupula and surround the aedeagus (Yoder et al. 2010)
gvc width	see Table 1 (Fig. 1A)
gvc length	The proximodistal anatomical line that is the longest extending between the proximal and distolateral margins of the gvc (Fig. 1A)
distal gvc width	The width at the distal end of the gvc in ventral view (Fig. 1A)
proximodorsal margin of gvc	The orientation or shape of the proximodorsal margin of the gvc (e.g., ascending proximomedially, convex, straight) (Fig. 1C)
distodorsal margin of gvc	The orientation or shape of the distodorsal margin of the gvc (e.g., descending proximomedially, convex) (Fig. 1C)
proximoventral margin of gvc	The orientation or shape of the proximoventral margin of the gvc (e.g., ascending distomedially, concave, straight) (Fig. 1A)
distoventral margin of gvc	The orientation or shape of the distoventral margin of the gvc (e.g., convex, descending proximomedially) (Fig. 1A)
ventral area of gvc	The shape of the ventral area of the gvc (e.g., concave, convex, straight) (Fig. 1B)
dorsal area of gvc	The shape of the dorsal area of the gvc (e.g., convex, straight) (Fig. 1B), sometimes with distomedial indentation (not visible in lateral view)
proximolateral margin of gvc	The orientation or shape of the proximolateral margin of the gvc (e.g., ascending ventrally, concave, descending dorsally, emarginated ventrally) (Fig. 1B)
distolateral margin of gvc	The orientation or shape of the distolateral margin of the gvc (e.g., convex, descending ventrally) (Fig. 1B)
harpe	The sclerite that is located distally on the gonostyle/volsella complex and does not connect to the cupula, and does not connect to the volsella by conjunctiva or muscles (Yoder et al. 2010)
harpe length	The basoapical anatomical line that is the longest extending between the proximolateral margin and the apex of the harpe (excluding setae) (Fig. 1A)
harpe/gvc index	The index obtained by dividing the harpe length by the gvc width
dorsolateral lobe	The lobe of a bilobed harpe which is more dorsal and lateral than the ventral lobe (Fig. 1A–B)
dorsolateral lobe length	The basoapical anatomical line that is the longest extending between the proximal margin of the gap between the dorsolateral and ventral lobe and the apex of the dorsolateral lobe (excluding setae) (Fig. 1A)
dorsolateral length of harpe	The basoapical anatomical line that is the longest extending between the proximolateral margin of the harpe and the apex of the dorsolateral lobe (excluding setae) (Fig. 1A)
ventral lobe	The lobe of a bilobed harpe which is more ventral than the dorsolateral lobe (Fig. 1A–B)
