2013 journal article

Morphology and function of the ovipositor mechanism in Ceraphronoidea (Hymenoptera, Apocrita)

JOURNAL OF HYMENOPTERA RESEARCH, 33, 25–61.

By: A. Ernst n, I. Miko* & A. Deans*

author keywords: Skeletomusculature; second valvula; ovipositor sheath; Aphanogmus; Ceraphron; Conostigmus; Megaspilus; Dendrocerus; Lagynodes; Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology; Phenotypic Quality Ontology; Spatial Ontology
TL;DR: Overall, the ceraphronoid ovipositor system is highly variable and can be described by discrete, distinguishable character states, however, these differences do not reflect the present classification of the superfamily and might represent parallelisms driven by host biology.
