Fig 2
Detail of Metapectal-propodeal complex.
2A Prosierola sp. (Bethylinae), 2B Pristocera sp. (Pristocerinae), 2C Heterocoelia sp. (Mesitiinae), 2D Epyris sp. (Epyrinae). (A) Metapectal-propodeal complex, dosal view. Blue = metapostnotum; yellow = first abdominal tergo. (B) Metapectal-propodeal complex, internal anteroposterior view. Blue (upper) = metapostnotum; blue (lower) = propodeo-second abdominal segment muscle; red = mesophragmo-metaphragmal muscle. (C-D) Metapectal-propodeal complex, dorsal view. Scale bar in the figure.
