APPENDIX
The characters of parsimony analysis
1. occiput somewhat extended
0 - no 1 - yes
Comment. vertex separating compound eyes, sometimes broad
2. eyes rather huge, covering more than half of lateral surface of head.
0 - no 1 - yes
3. last antennal segment approximately equal to penultimate one
0 - no 1 - yes
4. prothorax huge, elongated
0 - no 1 - yes
5. wing reduced, clearly too short for flight
0 - no 1 - yes
6. wing venation characterized by short m1 which is shorter than its petiole
0 - no 1 - yes
7. reduction of cross-vein m-m
0 - no 1 - yes
8. no separate vein M2
0 - no 1 - yes
9. tip of A2 at the level of Rs base
0 - no 1 - yes
10. very light stigma
0 - no 1 - yes
11. two tibial spurs at least on one pair of leg
- absent 1 - present
12. one pair of gonostyles
0 - no 1 - yes
13. gonocoxite
0 - not produced 1 - produced
14. male genitalia strongly elongated (gonostylus more than three times as long as wide at base)
0 - no 1 - yes
15. extremely large compressed male genitalia
0 - no 1 - yes
Comment. The male genital structures enlarged and laterally compressed are characteristic for the subgenus Eobothrophorus (Podenas, 2003).
16. very complicated of IX tergite and gonostylus
0 - no 1 - yes
Comment. e.g. in Eobothrophorus ninth tergite with very long, slender median lobe, which has bifid apex is observed; in Bothrophorus ninth tegum is extremely complicated, it has median lobe with three pairs of huge conical lobes (Podenas, 2003).
17. characteristic interbasal lobe present
0 - no 1 - yes
18. gonostylus with basal lobe short, hardly 1/3 the length of gonostylus itself
0 - no 1 - yes
19. ninth tergum with large medial lobe
0 - no 1 - yes
20. the medial processes of tergite IX branched apically into four branches
0 - no 1 - yes
21. IX tergite with large processes intended into several small lobes
0 - no 1 - yes
22. medial lobe of tergum bifid at apex
0 - no 1 - yes
23. medial lobe of ninth tergum more simple, without branches
0 - no 1 - yes
24. gonostylus with big flashy and hairy rostral lobe, which is just slightly shorter than gonostylus itself
0 - no 1 - yes
25. coloration dark
0 - no 1 - yes
