Character Details

Character

Position of mesofurcal pit [63]

Description

This character was problematic due to the difficulty in determining what constitutes “adjacent” relative to “clearly removed” from the mesocoxal cavity. We considered “adjacent” as being within less than one diameter of the pit from the mesocoxal cavity. State 1 includes structures in which the pit is placed in a secondary depression, as in Cirrospilus coachellae (Eulophidae). An external pit is absent from some taxa, such as Thysanus (Signiphoridae). Citation: Krogmann & Vilhelmsen (2006: 94).
