Shape of metapleuron [64]

Description

In state 0, the metapleuron tapers strongly towards the hind wing base, whereas it ends in two dorsal corners (i.e. truncate dorsal margin) in a rectangular metapleuron. In Torymini (Torymidae), metapleural shape is affected by the anterior margin being produced anteriorly, but the dorsal angle is the same for a subtriangular metapleuron. In Rotoita (Rotoitidae), the metapleuron is linear and extends to the base of the hind wing, but was coded as state 0 because of its narrow linear aspect. Citation: Krogmann & Vilhelmsen (2006: 115).
