Character

Position of tegula relative to humeral plate [117]

Description

Assessment of states was difficult in Dirhininae and Epitraninae (Chalcididae), where the tegula reaches to about the apex of the humeral plate but did not always seem to completely cover it, possibly due to differing flexion of the wing base. Citations: Wijesekara (1997: 16); Gates (2008: 23).
