Although +Azevedo (2006) +did not explicitly detail the method of associating the two strongly dimorphic sexes (micropterous female and macropterous male), it can be inferred from the author’s statement: “The shape of the antenna, mandible teeth, ocellar triangle, and mesosoma are very similar in both sexes, but sexual dimorphism is strong”. The author likely linked them based on morphological similarities and the specimens’ common type-locality. +Azevedo (2006) +initially described the female of this species as apterous. However, upon further review, it became apparent that there is a wing, albeit highly reduced, leading to the consideration that the females of this species are micropterous. + + + + + +Host + + +Unknown. + + + + +Distribution + + + +Australia +( +Queensland +). + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/7E/59/87/7E5987A7FF9AB15CE526FDDAF592FDC2.xml b/data/7E/59/87/7E5987A7FF9AB15CE526FDDAF592FDC2.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..37e04506201 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/7E/59/87/7E5987A7FF9AB15CE526FDDAF592FDC2.xml @@ -0,0 +1,241 @@ + + + +Revision of the strongly flattened Megaprosternum Azevedo (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae) + + + +Author + +Colombo, Wesley D. +B9D7FDE3-BDD8-4714-A53F-640A0994E5F6 +Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo, Departamento de Ciências Biológicas, Av.
