×50 |
EL |
Eye length. Maximum diameter of the compound eye |
×100 |
FL |
Maximum width of frontal lobes |
×100 |
FRS |
Frontal carina distance. Distance of the frontal carinae immediately caudal of the posterior intersection points between the frontal carinae and the torular lamellae |
×100 |
ML |
Diagonal length of the alitrunk in profile. Measured in lateral view from the anteriormost point of anterior pronotal slope to the caudalmost point of the lateral metapleural lobe |
×25 |
MW |
Maximum width of pronotum |

NOH |
Petiole node height; in a right angle from a reference line beginning at the petiolar spiracle and ending at the most caudo-dorsal point of the petiole |
×100 |
PEL |
Petiole length; horizontal distance between the petiolar spiracle and the most caudo-dorsal point of the petiole |
×100 |
PEW |
Petiole width. The maximum width of petiole in dorsal view |
×100 |
PoOC |
Postocular distance. Use a cross-scaled ocular micrometer and adjust the head to the measuring position of CL. Caudal measuring point: median occipital margin; frontal measuring point: reference line between the caudalmost border of the two compound eyes |
×50 |
PPH |
Postpetiole height. Maximum height of the postpetiole in lateral view. Measured perpendicularly to a line defined by the linear section of the segment border between dorsal and ventral petiolar sclerite |
×100 |
PPW |
Postpetiole width. Maximum width of postpetiole in dorsal view |
×100 |
