A Brief Description of the Metasoma in Pteromalids (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea, Pteromalidae)

摘要

The morphology of the metasoma in Pteromalidae is briefly reviewed. On the basis of a material from the Palaearctic Region, primary sclerites of the metasoma are described and illustrated. In a series of preceding publications, the author considered morphological peculiarities of the head (Dzhanokmen, 1994a, 1996), and mesosoma with its appendages (Dzhanokmen, 1994a, 1994b, 2000, 2004) in pteromalids. The present paper completes the morphological analysis of the chalcids of this family.
