alternative definition added about 14 years ago by Istvan Miko
Sclerite on the side of the thorax between the lateral panel of the pronotum and the
mesopleuron; in most chalcids the prepectus looks like separate, more or less triangular
sclerites on either side of the thorax, but usually it is at least narrowly continuous ventrally
under the procoxae (see prepectal shelf); in some chalcids the prepectus is reduced and
difficult to see and in a few it is fused to the pronotum; sometimes called the postspiracular
sclerite.
