Articulation of pedicel and scape of female antenna [6]

Description

A geniculate antenna is typical of most Chalcidoidea and refers to the pedicel normally being held at an angle to the scape. It is absent in some Eucharitidae (i.e. Stilbula) and Chiloe (Rotoitidae) (presumed secondarily lost). Citations: Gibson (1986: 3); Boucek & Noyes (1987)
