Association between prepectus and pronotum [79]

Description

In state 0, the prepectus is associated primarily with the mesepisternum in a different plane from the pronotum. In state 1, it is closely associated with and more or less in the same plane as both the pronotum and the mesepisternum. In state 2, it is completely fused with the pronotum. Citations: Heraty (1994: 19; 2002: 63); Krogmann & Vilhelmsen (2006: 72).
