General notes
For the determination it is necessary to have both sexes. For example, the ovipositor can help to identify the right genus and the male genitalia help with the identification of the species. Because of the small size of these features a stereo-microscope must be used.
Photographs are an additional source for identification, but they are not an alternative for keys with detailed drawings. If you do not have a big collection, you can try to check your determination by comparing the material with the photographs on this CD. Most of the time it is not necessary to ask a specialist to confirm the determination.
The maxim is: The easier a group of species can be determined, the more people will work on it.
