Male scape glands [16]

Description

Pores are found on the ventral surface of the male scape in many taxa, but may only be visible on SEM or slide mounts, and range from simple pores to prominent structures (i.e. Aphelinus, Aphelinidae). State 2 is known only for Chrysolampinae (Perilampidae) (cf. Darling, 1986). In Entedoninae (Eulophidae), the pores appear to be localized in raised structures along the male scape. For simplicity, the organized structures of Aphelinus (Aphelinidae) and some Eulophidae were coded the same as state 3.
