Mesosternal shelf [112]

Description

The mesepisternal shelf is an anterior region of the mesepisternum just posterior to the procoxae that generally appears as a flattened plate on the anterior, ventral surface of the mesopectus (mss, Fig. 5e). It has been termed as the mesepisternal shelf of Perilampidea Pteromalinae (Pteromalidae) and some other pteromalines (Bouček and Heydon, 1997), and also the same as the division of the mesepisternum in Horismenus and similar eulophids (Hansson, 2009).
