(from: Vilhelmsen, L. 1996.) The cibarium is the anterior/dorsal part of the preoral cavity. Its proximal boundary is marked by the frontal ganglion (Snodgrass, 1935), where the morphological mouth is situated. The cibarium is continued into the anterior part of the alimentary canal, the pharynx. The anterior wall of the cibarium is the proximal part of the epipharyngeal wall, the posterior wall is the hypopharynx. by:Andy Deans

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.
