Character Details

Character

Inner orbits of eyes [10]

Description

The character was developed for Cleonymini (Pteromalidae) and taxa with a similar head shape (Gibson, 2003). The increase in the angle of divergence begins near the center of the face, being abruptly and more strongly divergent than dorsad at that point. A continuous angle of divergence along the entire height of the eye is not the same state. In typical cleonymines, the eye has a concave margin between two convex margins along the length of the "divergence." This may be very important for defining consistent character states. In Aphelinidae (i.e. Eutrichosomellini) the eyes are ventrally divergent but evenly convex. Citation: Gibson (2003: 5).
