Anterior projections on Ms3–Ms6 in females [119]

Description

Anteriorly projecting apodemes from metasomal sternites 3 through 6 (gastral sternites 2–5) occur in Azotinae (Aphelinidae) and Signiphoridae (Fig. 5m), but these also were found in Encyrtidae (rare) and Mongolocampinae (Tetracampidae). In Mongolocampe, the sternites each have a strongly projecting, but fairly blunt extension. Citation: Woolley (1988: 12).
