Morphological terminology follows Anufriev and Emeljanov (1988) and Gnezdilov et al. (2014) . Photographs were taken using a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera with the lens Canon-MP-E-65mm f/2,8 1-5x Macro and the flash Canon Macro Twin-Lite MT-26EX-RT. Images were produced using Helicon Focus v. 7.6.4 and Adobe Photoshop СС 2019 software. The genital segments of male specimens examined were macerated in 10% potassium hydroxide (KOH) and figured in glycerine jelly (Brunel Micro Ltd, UK) using a Leica MZ9.5 stereomicroscope with a camera lucida. The map was prepared using Google Earth Pro (version 7.3) with map data sources as attributed in image.
The specimens examined are deposited in University of Delaware, Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology, Newark, Delaware, USA (UDCC); Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History, Washington, DC (USNM); Bernice P Bishop Museum of Natural History, Honolulu, Hawaii (BPBM); and the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation (ZIN).

Morphological Examination of Orancistrocerus Specimens

Cited 1 time

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Specimens of Orancistrocerus from the
Insect Ecology Department, Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources (IEBR),
Hanoi, Vietnam were examined. Morphological and color characters of mature specimens were observed using pinned and dried specimens under an Olympus SZ4 stereomicroscope, and measurements were made with an ocular micrometer. “Body length” indicates the combined lengths of the head, mesosoma, and the first two metasomal segments. Morphological terminology follows that of Carpenter and Cumming (1985) (link) and Yamane (1990) . Genitalic terminology follows Kojima (1999) and Nguyen et al. (2023) (link). Photographic images were made with a Nikon SMZ 800N Digital Stereo Microscope and an attached Sony α6000 digital camera. Images were stacked using Helicon Focus v. 7, then grouped into a figure using Adobe Photoshop CS6. The abbreviations F, S, and T (I, II, III, …) refer to numbered flagellomeres, metasomal sterna, and metasomal terga, respectively. Other abbreviations are: NP, National Park; NR, National Reserve; ISD-c, collectors from the Insect Systematic Department (IEBR).

Taxonomic Study of Allorhynchium Wasps

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Specimens of Allorhynchium were examined from the Insect Ecology Department, Institute of Ecology & Biological Resources (IEBR), Hanoi, Vietnam, and from the private collection of Seiki Yamane, Japan (SYC). Morphological and color characters of mature specimens were observed using pinned and dried specimens under a stereomicroscope Olympus SZ4, and measurements were made with an ocular micrometer. “Body length” indicates the combined lengths of the head, mesosoma, and the first two metasomal segments. Morphological terminology follows that of Carpenter and Cumming (1985) (link) and Yamane (1990) . Genitalic terminology follows Kojima (1999) (Fig. 1). Photographic images were made with a Nikon SMZ 800N Digital Stereo Microscope and an attached Sony α6000 digital camera. Images were stacked using Helicon Focus v.7, then grouped into a plate using Adobe Photoshop CS6. The abbreviations F, S, and T (I, II, III, …) refer to numbered flagellomeres, metasomal sterna, and metasomal terga, respectively. Other abbreviations are: NP, National Park; NR, National Reserve; ISD-c, collectors from the Insect Systematic Department (IEBR). Asterisks (*) refer to new locality records for a given species. The names of provinces in Vietnam are arranged in order from north to south and from west to east.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
