comment Ronquist: Although this term is primarily of use in the Apocrita, a homologous region is distinguishable in many sawflies. Miko: the axillar pit of Masner and Garcia is synonym of axillula. Bot the pit and the definition is incorrect, though (pit: point-like, has to corespond to interal apophysis; the pit is not on the axilla as in the definition of Masner and Garcia. by:Istvan Miko

The axillula ends anteriorly in the scutoscutellar sulcus. by:Istvan Miko

About

This glossary is a product of an ongoing effort to build an ontology of anatomical terms used by hymenopterists. The ontology is fully accessible and editable through the web, and interested parties are encouraged to get involved in its development. A preliminary overview of contributors and information on how to cite the Glossary is available.
