Character

Marginal labral setae [27]

Description

In Perilampidae, Eucharitidae, and a few other chalcidoids, the sockets of the setae are placed at the extreme margin of the labrum, such that the setae project straight forward from the actual margin of the labrum (Darling, 1988). In other chalcidoids, the marginal setae arise from sockets that are located on the dorsal surface of the labrum. Citations: Darling (1988); Heraty (1994: 14).
