Adult Anatomy

Sclerite of the ventral adult prothorax that is located over the midline and surrounds the opening into the prothoracic sternal apodeme (Ferris, 1950). It is between the prothoracic and mesothoracic preepisternum regions (Ferris, 1950).

Only seems to be present in prothoracic segment according to Ferris (1950), despite sternal apophyses in all segments (according to Miller, 1950 - FBrf0186027).
