Character Details

Character

Membranous region anterior to each mesocoxa [114]

Description

Some chalcidoids are able to rotate their mesocoxae anteriorly out of the mesocoxal fossae (character 115) so that the middle legs can be directed straight forward. In such instances, there is a membranous region anterior to each mesocoxa that enables the coxa to rotate. Citations: Gibson (1989: 6); Krogmann & Vilhelmsen (2006: 97).
