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.

Caveats
Although the database is continually updated the list of terms, definitions, and relationships is incomplete. If you find errors or omissions, or you would like to contribute (either as an editor or to submit a list of terms) please contact .
