Chalcidoidea Morphology Matrix

Character

Scutoscutellar sulcus (SSS) between axilla and scutellum [52]

Description

Obliterated means complete fusion with no external indication. In Encarsia (Aphelinidae), there is a distinct internal line visible in slide mounts, but externally there is only a very faint indication from the surface sculpture; this was coded as obliterated.
