Antecostal sulcus of female metasomal sternite 2 (=Gs1) [209]

Description

The antecostal sulcus is a transverse sulcus medially on the metasomal sternite 2 (3rd abdominal sternite, first gastral sternite) that internally is associated with attachment of the antecostal muscles, which attach to the middle of the sternite even when the sulcus is absent. The antecostal sulcus can be present in taxa lacking a ventrally fused petiole (eg: Nasonia and others). Citations: Heraty (1994: 40; 2002: 92).
