LennyWorthington, thx for the suggestion.
I agree with your identification. Because when i read the description, i found that another stigmata of this family is its double tail. I remembered that I found some specimens have these features. At the first time I think it the male's feature because the specimen which have "tail" is smaller than this one. Unfortunately, I didn't capture it.
