Character

Basal vein of fore wing [77]

Description

The Rs (or Rs+M) in the basal area of the wing is the basal vein. Most chalcidoids have the basal vein indicated by at most an oblique fold and/or a line of setae, though some (e.g. Ormocerinae (Pteromalidae), Rotoita (Rotoitidae) have a pigmented fold and some Microgastrinae (Pteromalidae) have a sclerotized tubular vein (Fig. 6 a,b,d). Although scored, setal lines do not seem to have phylogenetic importance and are variable within most higher level groups.
